I commend dedicated point to point Ethernet to my customers for that purpose. Better bandwidth and the costs have dropped dramatically on those in the last few years.
I doubt it. They have done diddly squat about chaos all along the border between the USA and Mexico.
Exactamundo, however!
Al Czervik to the rescue!
Might wanna give securing the southern border some thought......
Yeah but that would cut into dingy’s cash flow from town
” a cyberterrorist with a little knowledge and the right laptop can gain that access and cause chaos in a regional power system merely by linking up with the control panel at a secluded electric vehicle charging station. “
‘Scuze me while I chuckle over THIS one ....
” Those sorts of warnings, along with vivid demonstrations of the grid’s vulnerability, such as an incident a year ago in which unknown assailants fired on a power station near San Jose, nearly knocking out electricity to Silicon Valley, have grabbed official attention. “
Duh.
Every inch of ‘line’ is ‘unguarded’ too; someone, some company is ‘rent seeking’ with these so-called reports.
Watch closely for ‘brother-in-law’ deals to be struck and political kick-backs as well. (Follow the money!)
Wouldn’t matter feudal lord dingy must have his way, no toleration of peons failing to snap to and obey. How dare they have the audacity of saying NO.
Little men like dingy can’t take that and retaliation blinds them till they get their revenge.
Heck if China gets it’s solar throughout the US it will have access to the grid.....and could use it as an antenna to “hear” and “Monitor” what it wants of our military....
“They” have known about these weaknesses for years, maybe decades. It costs MONEY to fix them properly and the Utilities and the Government don’t want to spend that money. Each for their own reasons.
Now that the info is out they need to “Do Something” that should have been in the works a long, long time ago.
There, fixed it.
