From the article linked:

“Well, remember the hacking incident at Monju earlier this year? A night-shift worker there downloaded a free video playback software from a supposed South Korean site and managed to infect the PC in the central control room. The PC was hacked, and email information was stolen. I haven’t seen the result of the follow-up investigation of the incident.”

What kind of computer security does the Monju nuclear power plant have that a night worker can download free video playback software and infect the PC in the central control room????

“...could have caused damage & disruption to energy supplies...” There is not needs for these attacks from outside. Obambi is causing plenty of destruction to much of America’s energy sector without any cyber. Obambi could teach the terrorists a thing or two about how to hate America. If it were not for the private sector, we would be suffering even more.
