U.S. eletrical grid hacked

Are we surprised yet??????

The warning has been out for a while that this could happen. The fact that it did is not surprising. Nor is it surprising that the hackers came from China, Russia and "other countries". I almost find humor in them leaving behind the program that could be used to disrupt the system.

I don't know exactly what parts of the U.S. are controlled by this grid but I think it is time we ask ourselves if we are ready for a country wide black out?????

The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls, the newspaper said, citing current and former U.S. national security officials.

The intruders have not sought to damage the power grid or other key infrastructure but officials said they could try during a crisis or war, the paper said in a report on its website.

"The Chinese have attempted to map our infrastructure, such as the electrical grid," a senior intelligence official told the Journal. "So have the Russians."
