The only surprise is they admitted the breach.

That’s quicker than Obama’s EPA rules.

Eventually we’re going to need a Battlestar Galactica solution. No networked computers in vital systems.

SCADA. Do the utilities still use carrier current communications between the power plants and the substations? It’s a question for any freepers who may work for in the electric power generation sector. I see some of the equipment installed at various substations, but I’m not sure that those systems are still in use. An outside control network, especially one that uses a public telcom network, would be a really, really bad idea. Controls for power generation and distribution really need to stay a closed system, with no access to the outside world.

Just finished reading about this, page 1 of the Business section of today’s Times. It’s the Russians, says the Times, and so far they have been snooping at the technology but not blowing anything up.

This is Obama’s wet dream. Doing what the EPA can’t

I'm skeptical. I work for an electrical utility, and there is no way some sleaze-bag hacker got into our control system.
No way.

“New Computer Virus Can Cripple Power Plants With the Click of a Mouse”
Totally false. I keep clicking my mouse and not a damn thing is happening: the lights are still on.

Why are these systems not on a closed internal network not accessible to the internet?

In all seriousness, I cannot BELIEVE we haven’t suffered some massive infrastructure failure as of late.
Seems like 0bama’s M.O. these days; create as much chaos as possible on a DAILY basis! Grrrrrr!
