"A group of Russian-speaking hackers have claimed responsibility for the hacks, which began in January but have continued in recent weeks. The hackers claimed credit for a cyberattack on an Indiana wastewater treatment plant on a Friday night last month that prompted plant managers to send maintenance personnel to investigate."

Thank God Russian hackers exposed the weaknesses since the people in our government who SHOULD HAVE been checking the safefy of water treatment plants are obviously incompetent. Is the ‘person in charge’ a DEI hire?

What if the first ‘test’ had been a real ‘war’ cyber attack by China?

We have a government who aided and abetted the destruction of our our borders and sovereignty. They created these collapses. They allowed our borders to be hacked, compromised and overrun and it’s all sponsored by those in government.

Now they’re complaining about their/our electronic defense and infrastructure going the same way? And we’re 34 trillion zillion in debt?

Those effing rats in D.C. who’ve orchestrated this insanity need to be held accountable. But don’t hold your breath as they control everything now. If they’re successful at stopping Trump with their corrupt justice system, or by election fraud, it’s all over. They’ll be far too entrenched and in control of everything by then.

Weak security is all part of the 0bama/Biden plan.

They can’t even protect this country from being attacked, but let’s waste billions of tax payer dollars on Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

My understanding is that before the internet and cell phones, the utility companies had to locate or send employees out to their facilities to manage and maintain them.

With the advent of the internet and cell phones they thought they could save money by monitoring their facilities remotely. They even were proud at one point to show off complete diagrams and blue prints of their facilities on the internet. They took them off quickly, but most likely not before the Russian and Chinese security agencies had made copies.

I guess they save a few bucks in salaries in exchange for making everything much more hackable.

Consider the perilous state of our electric grid as Bidens green policies are making us more dependent on fickle wind and solar. Targeted hacking could leave large parts of the country blacked out

I work in cybersecurity. While the financial markets have improved, the VAST majority of businesses are just now starting to implement the IT controls / policies necessary to even detect hackers. And anything that is city or county government level is HORRIABLY behind.

I cant complain too much, it keeps me employed.

Good thing to consider for prepping because in many places, if the water goes, they’re in BIG trouble.
