RollCall:
Congress Unnerved by Energy Grid Hack
For months, Sen. Maria Cantwell has been warning in letters to the Trump administration and colleagues that Congress needs to do more to keep the nation's energy supply safe from cyberattacks. Now it appears she has a widespread attack to bolster her admonitions.
Reports from Bloomberg and The New York Times last week indicated that Russian-backed hacking groups may be responsible for recent targeted cyberattacks to nuclear power plants and grid operation system manufacturers, threatening the electric grid and the economy it supports.
While the FBI and Department of Homeland Security say... (blah blah)

Which Energy Grid hack? The one in Burlington Vt that never happened at all on a laptop that wasn't even capable of being connected to the grid, containing malware that was 'in the wild' for years? These people are spoon feeding everyone bullshit, and everyone's eating it. Because the typical US-ejumicated idiot simply can't admit to themselves they got the absolute perfect representation of an American citizen for president. Donald Trump. So like every other world problem... PUTIN! RUSSIA! COMMIES! Note that Russia hasn't been a communist nation for decades now, and their only real threat to the US is competition for the extractive resources that make America's Five-Planet Lifestyle possible. Therein lies the 'problem' with "Russia". My nightmare is the US and Russia will call off their bullshit-in-the-best-year "Cold War", a global game of good cop/bad cop played on the 3rd world countries, and collude to rape the Earth's resources with China as the slave shop nation manufacturing products with those looted resources for the select few who can still afford it. Watch Syria. It's future partition is the testing ground for US/Russian expeditionary collaboration. Rr
