1. That list dates back to June of last year.
2. The list is of the types of infrastructure that Russia needed to consider "off limits" with regards to cybersecurity.
3. Seems some folks here have forgotten that one time back in band camp, when cybercriminals attacked the country by shutting down one of the existing pipelines, causing gas shortages and creating panic-buying all along the coast.
4. Other cyberattacks were aimed at the Ukranian power grid and a Saudi petrochemical plant.

It's a thing. It's a problem, and it absolutely warrants our President telling Russia not to do that. And sure - even spelling it out in a list of "what not to do" to make sure there's no misunderstanding.
