A troubling video just out that shows the potential of hacker breaking into US power grids. It demonstrates and shows all of us that our power grids are not secure enough. The video was even shown to Vice President Dick Cheney. Our entire power grid was never built from the very beginning with security in mind. Also, this is not an easy over night fix. According to the video, it will take time to go through and update all these systems with better security. These are after all advanced machines and complicated systems that route energy all over the nation.
The other qualm I have about this video and other news bits released by the media in the past, is that it feels when information like this released, like "our power grid is vulnerable to attack!" That it is shouting out to the world, "Hey! Our systems are vulnerable over here!" its just like asking for an attack from our enemies overseas or domestically. It really upsets me when information like that is leaked. This kind of stuff should not even be mentioned to the public until after they've fixed it. Just my two cents, watch the video below.
