More Hacker News: Chinese and Russians Have Access to U.S. Power Grid

James Robertson


Since this aims to be a technology blog, I thought I would pass along this story in the Wall Street Journal about how Chinese and Russian hackers have accessed the United States power grid.

Hacking facinates me (if you haven't already noticed), so much so that I'm writing a research paper on the topic.

This is an important story to follow, because there are many national security concerns here, but also because combating and repairing attacks is costly.

Stay tuned, and I'll try and keep you updated.
