Are we at risk for an attack?
If you missed it, this was a really interesting story.
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5578986n If some of you have a few minutes to watch it, we could have a very interesting discussion about it. There is a lot to chew on here and it may very well be the biggest crisis facing our country. |
They have been hacking at systems for quite some time, we even have a group hacking the hackers. This is also one of the reasons why many people do not want the new so-called "smart meters" on their power entrance.

I think the story makes some good points about private ownership and public interest. They could fix it, but there's no profit in it.

Yeah, "I can help protect this country. But if you can't show me how I can get rich off of it, fuck you people." seems to be the great American way these days.
Seriously, I think there will always be the potential for attack, in some form, no matter what we do. Dave |
I saw that Sunday. There are so many ways to bing down the world economy or any single country it is scary.
Imagine, turnig off the electric in the winter in NY? |
