Russia Hacking Ukraine Nuclear Facilities, Prelude to US Nuclear Plant Attack
Posted by: Russia Hacking Nuclear Plants ()

AS THE WORLD watched highly skilled hackers take down power grids in Ukraine twice in two years, cybersecurity analysts reached the growing consensus that Russian hackers may be using the country as a testing ground for attacks they'll someday try on the United States. On Thursday, when news emerged that hackers have indeed been targeting American electric utilities—including a Kansas nuclear facility—it seemed possible that day had arrived. But it's worth noting there's a big difference between infecting a few energy companies' Windows machines with malware and grabbing the controls of a nuclear power plant.

The United States is a greatly weakened nation now and Trumps legacy will inflict on us difficulty once he is gone. Our ability to mobilize our allies or our legitimacy is now very questionable.

Before everyone gets in a tizzy. Let make sure they actually have that capability.

When reactors start to go down in California then we will know.
