  In fact, pulling the plug may make things worse. If the hacking is done
to a server, then pulling the plug from a terminal isn't going to help
anything (it's unlikely that the server would be plugged in to a wall
socket right there in the lab). The only thing it achieves is to stop
the people using the terminal from trying to stop the hacking, until
the terminal is booted up again.
