There are vulnerable parts of all our utilities including energy, water, waste. Financially infrastructure, security systems, large businesses, etc.

Military/Govt agency infrastructure much more likely to be a hard target, but not like you might imagine or hope. Many of what I listed are soft due to lack of funding for support and maintenance over the years. Add on your basic incompetence and we are full of holes and ripe for an IT meltdown.

Just my perspective as someone in networking for 20 years.

It was Tom Cotton interview?

Black female anchor mid morning interviewing some "expert" who was also selling his book.

I'll have to take your word for it. I haven't seen anything from them since the polls closed in Arizona.

I can’t hardly watch F&F on weekdays. It’s just one fear mongering session about Russia, Covid, inflation and all the other things that are obviously wrong.

Untrue. Stop reading the crap.

IEEE Cyber Security Committee ....First meeting a Utility Engineer suggests that the entire system unify and become connected. As a member on the Manufacturer's side, I politely suggested he kiss our butt and tell the government to stay out of a system they don't own. You can't take down the system because the entire system is not connected together. Name one Electric Utility that been breached and the lights go off. ONE. The only breech I'm aware of is Calpine in California. Not a distribution system but natural gas power plants. That breech entered their Administrative areas and impacted the main office. So what? Power systems are far more likely to go down due to natural causes than some basement or country hack getting in and taking out the eastern seaboard. Once you get in, the system is so complex that unless you know every device controlling every apparatus of the system ...you will not be successful.

If I were to break in .... I then have to figure out the communications software systems, then devices used to control and protect transformers and generators, then figure out the software system of each apparatus and in most cases ....the power plant is separated from any INTERNET influence. Balser, Beckwith Electric, ABB, Schweitzer, GE, Cooper ....do not share programming nor do they share operating systems of their products. To break in and do damage would be a considerable task ....
ESPECILLY, when a lot of Utilities use a primary and a backup protective system and they are not from the same company.

I'll admit, I don't know much about water .....water and electricity don't mix well.

Faux News has proven unequivocally that they are controlled opposition and a globalist tool of the uniparty.

This board complains about them, but then multiple posts a day pop up saying "just saw on FOX", "did you see what _____ said on Hannity", yadda yadda yadda.

It's just like all the people who incessantly bitch about woke culture, cancel culture and overt racism against whites, but they still watch CFB on Saturdays and NFL on Sundays.

Stop watching Faux News. OAN exists.

Military intelligence in Britain, France and the United States became aware of these plans soon after Germany invaded Poland yet the leaders of these countries did not inform the Polish government that a Soviet invasion from the East was imminent.

Germany invading Poland was the impetus for England and France to go to war with Germany. There was a treaty in place that specified this reaction to a German invasion. Obviously the USSR also invaded but the allies didn't want a war with both so they hid behind the figleaf that the treaty only mentioned Germany.

Germany later broke the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with the Soviets and invaded making life much easier for the allies to sell this hypocrisy

Biden probably needs a war at this point.
