The idea of  hackers bringing down the entire US power grid is scary. Most people think that this scenario strictly belongs in sci-fi movies and that it couldn’t happen, but according to security analysts, the threat is real. The threat is a real possibility due to the use of smart grids involving two million devices, which are largely wireless, sending data back and forth between power stations and homes.

Researchers at Seattle based IOActive claim that they have proven that the devices are vulnerable to virus attack by hacking. Equipment worth just $500 was enough to create a worm virus which spread rapidly across the network. Had that been a real hacker, there would have been some serious damage.SOURCE

We are sitting ducks, just baby chickens waiting for a big bad terrorist wolf to disrupt our national power grid and turn us into starving ice cubes this winter.   The closer it gets to the 2016 election, the more the bloviating, bombastic political loudmouths will get.  Yhe nation is already distracted by the Paris attack, and the politicians are tryiing to outdo themselves. blathermg about what they would do    better than Obama, or any of the other candidates.  

That a grid attack is imminent should be on the top of our national defense plans.  While we wait, our enemies prepare.  A weapon is a weapon; whether i is an automati rifle, or any  of the billions of dollars worth of weapons we left behind in Iraq, doesn’t matter; if the weapon achieves the goal of the people usiing it.
