US Power Grid hacked

Apparently, China and Russia "cyberspies" have both hacked in to the US electrical grid. This does not shock me. It also may be possible that programs have been left behind that, in the event of war, could be activated and used to shut down power in the country. If this sounds a lot like "Live Free or Die Hard"...well, yeah.

Yet another example of how security is a mirage.
