On ABC News: Specialist saying Homeland Security said terrorists threatened to affect electricity in August. Specialist is saying that three separate software packages designed to prevent this very thing have obviously failed.
Saying the truth of the matter is that Homeland Security is saying this didn't happen because of traditional terrorist measures, but it doesn't mean they didn't commit an act of cyber terror. On ABC NOW

ABC: federal government and electric regulatory commission very worried about cyber security and we will need computer forensic experts to determine why the three software packages failed. Expert feels it's ridiculous to say it's definitely not terrorism.

Specialist is saying that three separate software packages designed to prevent this very thing have obviously failed.I don't trust the DHS when it comes to anything having to do with computers (not just because they chose to use Windows everywhere either), nor do I trust any software to be %100 secure or bug-free. I wouldn't be surprised if some worm/etc. does serious damage, including damage it was never meant to do (remember the first worm back in the 1980s which brought down large portions of the internet).
Has anybody in this thread brought up the issue of whether or not this is the beginnings of S-K-Y-N-E-T becoming active? Arnold is running for governor, but perhaps he can pop over and do something about it.
