RE: CrashOverride Power Grid Malware - Is this the next Russian 'threat' to the West?
This is one of those things that is just stupid.
Smart-meter stupid.
Our electrical grid infrastructure is archaic.
Their ideas of cyber-security are archaic.
The whole thing is just teetering.
And the whole thing can be brought down with just a few people who are willing to live in the dark for a while. This is a very important point of why there are no real terrorists in The US.
With the roll-out of the smart-meter, now anyone can hack the network. Anyone with a little know-how can cause all kinds of havoc.
Network security wasn't even on the evil power people's minds, it was all about control and being able to turn off anyone at will.
Yeah, built long ago, before networking security was much of a concern, then hooked up to networks... 0% potential problems there... Thanks for the feedback.
