Any competent IT shop should assume they will be hacked by anyone out there. It's got nothing to do with Russia.
You should be far far more worried a Secretary of State who decides to flout all US Rules, Laws and Regulations, by passes the US protected .gov system, and instead runs the State Department business on a private email server operating out of a bathroom in Denver by amateur hacks. We still have no idea what secrets got out to who out there.
I got a feeling something terrible is fixing to happen soon...and of course they will blame the new guy. Not the one that has alienated us. I think soon, many will begin to see more clearly.
I just hope it happens later than sooner.... actually not at all. But i got a feeling it is going to. Man i hate my gut feelings.
If memory serves, and I'm not going to look to make me seem smart, I thought we used both and had 3 or 4 in the assembly process because our electrical grid was completely taxed in refinement.
immediately at war's end, yeah, that sounds about right.
"Only after numerous outlets called out the Post’s changes did the newspaper finally append an editorial note at the very bottom of the article more than half a day later saying “An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid.”
Reminds me of a shot over the bow thing. First..it is tested to see the reaction. Then, it will go further. That seems to happen a LOT.
A code associated with the Russian hacking operation dubbed Grizzly Steppe by the Obama administration has been detected within the system of a Vermont utility, according to U.S. officials.
WaPo has now officially retracted the story. It was fake. What say you about that?
The article I read said the malware was found on a laptop at a utility grid. It also said the laptop was not connected to the grid or utility, so it was a standalone computer.
I guessing there is also porno (possibly from a Russian cite) on the laptop that was accessed at about the same time the malware showed-up.
The Washington Post once again forced to retract their fake news.
First the fake news story about paid Russian trolls, now the fake news story about the Russians hacking the electrical grid.
Washington Post retracts story about Russian hack at Vermont utility
The Washington Post has retracted its story about Russian hackers penetrating the nation’s electricity grid with a virus found in a Burlington, Vt., electric company laptop.
News of the supposed hack had set off a firestorm of recriminations, with Vermont leaders calling Russian President Vladimir Putin “a thug” earlier Saturday, after one of the state’s electric utilities found a virus on a laptop computer.
A utility spokesman has also told the Burlington Free Press the laptop was not hooked into the grid.
Do you mean one of the MOST respected newspaper's in the country would run a story WITHOUT checking out the facts FIRST?
Because they gots lots and lots of liberal money behind them.
Jeff Bezos (Bozo) has not made secret his utter contempt and hatred for President Elect Donald Trump and what he did was purchase The Washington Post only to turn it into an anti-Trump mouthpiece.
Why does Bozo have such hatred towards Trump? It's because Trump threatens Bozo's "Made in China" empire and he really wanted that Pacific Trade Partnership so he could sell cheap stuff and pay his workers even less.
“Good” employees at Amazon toil long hours, rarely take vacations, and never complain about their workload. Managers expect to receive immediate responses to emails sent after midnight, and will follow-up with texts if their messages go unanswered. Because team members are ranked, and those at the bottom get eliminated every year, it’s in everyone’s interests to cut down and outperform everyone else. That’s made easier by Amazon’s “Anytime Feedback Tool,” which allows employees to snitch on one another when they notice office mates taking long lunch breaks or leaving work early.
The average warehouse employee earns a staggering $12.33/hour all the time Bozo made billions. Bozo is the prime example of a democrat liberal... he is Hillary's pal.
So when you read garbage out of The Washington Post simply understand where it is spewing from... not unlike having The Wall Street Journal bought out by The Democratic Underground website. Imagine how good that paper would be?
The Post did not retract the story. They clarified that the virus was found on a unlinked computer rather than one that could access the grid. Their story implied the latter.
Who knows? Maybe that is a lie even. The powers behind the power do not want you to know that they are so inept that the Russkies could shut us down anytime they feel like it.
