Re: Chinese, Russican Hackers Probing Power Grid
I think a lot of people do not realize how many things are dependent on the internet and just how devastating a wide scale interruption of it would be.
That is besides the danger from viruses being planted by foreign countries who are potential enemies.
I don't know what the solution is but I do know that both private companies, utilities, and State and Federal Government had better be spending some time, energy, and bucks on hardening the internet communications that control our infrastructure. We have to hope for the best but plan for the worst.
Oh, and don't forget we have a peak of sunspots coming in 2012 that could cripple satellite and other communications!!!!
