Mainecat Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The Russians are our friends...... US accuses Russia of cyber attacks on power grid Source: CNN By Sophie Tatum, CNN Updated 7:45 AM ET, Fri March 16, 2018 Washington (CNN) - The US government has accused Russia of remotely targeting the US power grid, as part of its newly unveiled sanctions on the country. The Department of Homeland Security released detailsThursday of what it called a multi-stage effort by Russia to target specific government entities and critical infrastructure. The Trump administration announced extensive sanctions against Russia on Thursday morning, which included sanctions on the Internet Research Agency, a Russian troll farm that produced divisive political posts on American social media platforms during the 2016 presidential election. According to the DHS, Russia accessed US government networks by initially targeting with malware small commercial third-party networks that were less secure.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 16, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I recall some years ago Russia doing something similar to warn us what they could do. It was in retaliation for a cyber attack we had done on them or possibly Iran. It may have been over the Stuxnet virus that got leaked into Russian nuclear plants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet There is a documentary called Zero Days that was really good on this whole thing. It was a US/Israel joint program to take out Iranian centrifuges. According to expert Eugene Kaspersky, the worm also infected a nuclear power plant in Russia. Kaspersky noted, however, that since the power plant is not connected to the public Internet, the system should remain safe.[34] In 2016 it was revealed that General James Cartwright, the former head of the U.S. Strategic Command, had leaked information related to Stuxnet. He later pleaded guilty for lying to FBI agents pursuing an investigation into the leak.[162][163] On 17 January 2017, he was granted a full pardon in this case by President Obama, thereby expunging his conviction.
