Hackers cut Power
One of those small articles in the local paper:
"hackers literally turned out the lights in multiple cities after breaking into electrical utilities and demanding extortion payments before disrupting power, a senior CIA analyst told utility engineers at a trade conference...."
All the break-ins occured outside the U.S.
Guys, I tried to find a link to the entire story, but my search skills are limited.
Details given were very sketchy. Kind of scary stuff, though. Any overseas posters know anything about this?
