Why does the phrase "Pot, meet Kettle" come to mind?

The advisory says there is evidence of tools being developed and/or tested and provides steps that affected industry partners need to take. For those partners, action needs to be taken. Bad things could happen but I'll bet our side will be prepared.

Even back then there were multiple grids - yes - but, are you saying there are redundant national grids now? Because that was discussed when I was there, but was thought to be too expensive to be practical? The proposal that was gaining favor was distributed generation. But, the technology for that was not practical at the time. And yes, I am certain there have been a LOT of improvement since then - that was 20 years ago, a few things have changed - LOL! I am glad to hear we are taking it more seriously now compared to then. I assume you read the CISA alert I linked to, and understand it was sent out to companies to alert them to a new cyber attack software that has been detected and to give them information on how to identify if they had been attacked and how to deal with it. It does not say we have been attacked, it says the software has been identified as having been "tested" against several locations. Anyway, thank you again for bringing us more up to date than my out dated experience. |

My point, as I have said, was not to fear monger, or say the world is ending, just to let people be aware of things that are going on - most people are never aware of the world of Cyberwarfare. I find it interesting, having been involve in some of it tangentially. I thought people here might like to know what is happening and how our government is protecting us. |

But no, I do not watch network television. What insights did the piece have? EDIT: Even more confused by your remark now. I read what seems to be the transcript for the program. The transcript talks about indications and warning and planning but no attack against the US yet. That seems to support my first sentence that, "If they are able to watch 60 minutes tonight then either the attack is not underway or it has not been very successful." What am I missing?

From an internal email about cyber attack training yesterday
Just to give everyone comfort as to training at utilities, we actually see demos of actual software used in phishing attacks against us, as well as study other attack vectors from actual attacks. . .

Martin,
enjoy retirement, I realize that workaholics like myself want to continue to feel relevant in today's world, but in reality, time is better served enjoying what TV and the rest of our lives have to offer, and don't click on any links which you don't know, and don't answer random phone calls which are not on your contacts lists. . . and use linux mint if instead of windows O/S to minimize the potential viruses and other attacks. . I am converting over as soon as I have the time. laptop safety officer |
