They aren't.

Gabriel Weimann, author of Terror on the Internet:

?Nuclear weapons and other sensitive military systems, as well as the computer systems of the CIA and FBI, are ?air-gapped,? making them inaccessible to outside hackers. Systems in the private sector tend to be less well protected, but they are far from defenseless, and nightmarish tales of their vulnerability tend to be largely apocryphal.?
