Default [PCworld]Cyber threats to Electrical Grid

Quote:
The U.S. electrical grid remains vulnerable to cyber attacks that could cripple the economy, and the organization responsible for regulating electrical suppliers doesn't appear to be serious about fixing the problems, some U.S. lawmakers said Wednesday.

That is scary. Reminds me of "Live Free or Die Hard."

Oh Well, The Justice Dept. & Homeland Security will force them to fix the problems. Or else they'll take over and then it'll just be another part of the country that the government regulates. And they'll be able to tighten the vice grip on our nuts even tighter, And start pushing even harder for a one world government

EDIT: And NO I'm not some friggin conspiracy nut.

EDIT2: Wait... We have a CyberSecurity divison of the government? or am I reading that wrong..

It's computers made it possible, don't ya' know. The global grid is only way to coordinate the various police and military needed. AI still needs to be developed to the point where it can watch everywhere at once and flag anything or anyone for the humans to take care of because the man power simply isn't there to both watch and enforce. What was conspiracy theory five years ago is mainstream news today.
