China/Russia penetrate US power grid

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

I'm sure if they do trip a circuit field will end up taking the blame as per usual!  

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

I wonder what kind of systems were hacked the most often. I didn't see that anywhere in the MSNBC report.  

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

Another tin-foil theory ?  

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

hey, I resent that previous post!

;)

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

Maybe it's that smart grid stuff that isen't hacker proof.

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

As I read the artical it looked like a justifacation for someone's govt job.  

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

Its those damned Chinese and/or Russians trying to take our jobs away! We Americans can bring down our power grid on our own without their help.

RE: China/Russia penetrate US power grid

Wonder if we will ever know that it was an attempt that got nowhere?  Could be cause to create an entire new agency and reduce unemployment.

Oh, and quit surfing porn sites on the SCADA console during lunch hour.

I think this is a slow news-day story.

Seriously - there's probably some legitimate concern. I've seen many Windows based control system computers infected with spyware. Some very basic security measures common sense would go a long ways.
