How long if ever would it take to find out if it was an accidental power surge or an enemy induced power surge? You can't very well go to war with a suspicious third world country when in reality it was a smarter well informed agent of evil wanting to get even for who knows what?

They are important, but do you think a CIO would pay attention to such a risk? Security has always been difficult to explain the value of because you only experience it for real when it fails and when it fails the impact can be rather high. High impact and very small chance risks are not easy for people to deal with.
Fact of the matter is that datacenters are not fortresses and can be physically attacked.
