The enemy is always probing, probing. This time it is the power grids - from the Las Vegas Sun:
AP Investigation: U.S. power grid vulnerable to foreign hacks
Security researcher Brian Wallace was on the trail of hackers who had snatched a California university's housing files when he stumbled into a larger nightmare: Cyberattackers had opened a pathway into the networks running the United States power grid.
Digital clues pointed to Iranian hackers. And Wallace found that they had already taken passwords, as well as engineering drawings of dozens of power plants, at least one with the title "Mission Critical." The drawings were so detailed that experts say skilled attackers could have used them, along with other tools and malicious code, to knock out electricity flowing to millions of homes.
Wallace was astonished. But this breach, The Associated Press has found, was not unique.
About a dozen times in the last decade, sophisticated foreign hackers have gained enough remote access to control the operations networks that keep the lights on, according to top experts who spoke only on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter.
The public almost never learns the details about these types of attacks — they're rarer but also more intricate and potentially dangerous than data theft. Information about the government's response to these hacks is often protected and sometimes classified; many are never even reported to the government.
Both sides of the political spectrum are equally at fault here - nobody wants to rock the boat enough to suggest that people in the middle east declared war on us back in 1800 and although they have signed truces with us, we have never defeated them and driven them into the river. What happened on 9/11, what happened in San Bernardino and Paris are just the tip of the iceberg for what these barbarians (literally - read your history) have planned. There is a lot happening in the rest of the world that our complicit media have failed to tell us - again, do not want to rock the boat, the proles might start asking inconvenient questions. We have become a Nation of Eloi...
Time to clean house and start over fresh with some people who will have the stones to call a spade a spade and deal with it...
