electricity grid

Do we really want to build this smart grid…for it only to be used against us? We've got to be sure those smart meters are protected.

I spoke these words two weeks before Siobhan Gorman of the Wall Street Journal broke the news that cyberspies, most likely from China and Russia, had penetrated the cybergrid that controls the US electrical supply, and and had left behind potentially disruptive software. I wasn't a bit surprised.
