“Also, was this “the Russians” or simply “Russians” that perpetrated this hack, such as it was?”
there never was an “attack”; all that happened was that someone at one of the two Vermont utilities found one piece of common malware on one laptop not connected to grid control, where said malware was written by some Russian hacker long ago, but now is used by thousands of hackers worldwide. Based on that, WaPo genned up the fake news that “Russians hacked the power grid” and the rest of the fake stream media instantly spread the fake news far and wide.
Washington Post has become the premier maker of fake news.
Not even an attempt to look at it from a historical perspective, huh. This wasn’t even something new.
Well. Dear Lord help us. He’s all that can help us, when the institutions of men have gone this jabberwocky, but He’s also entirely sufficient to help us.
