DHS needs to blab this kind of thing to prove to us they are relevant. In my opinion that is why it’s being released publically. If it was really a serious threat we wouldn’t hear about it - like we don’t hear about thwarted terrorist attacks. Why let the enemy know you know if the threat is real? That’s stupid.

Obscurity is not the best security measure for industrial and infrastructure controls.

I doubt that the Russians haven’t been keeping up with it since 2011, and especially with the latest widespread news and discussion of it and the use of it against NATO and Europe, only months ago.

I want the public to be aware of such threats except when there is a reason for secrecy, I don’t see any reason related to this story today to hide it from us.
