Dunno about the Who of this but, regardless, you are warned.

Might be a good time to buy a solar panel and make a heater as on youtube, buy heating oil or extra firewood etc. Warnings of storm hitting Alaska and creating cold weather for the rest is also in the news... remember Gods warning about winter.

Homeland Security Warning: Russian Malware has infected Vital U.S. Infrastructure Systems

A bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security was issued this week warning that Russian Hackers have penetrated and inserted malware into some of the nation’s most vital infrastructure systems.
The Malware, which was inserted as part of a hacking campaign that dates back to 2011, has been found in software used to control industrial operations like oil and gas pipelines, power transmission grids, water distribution and filtration systems, wind turbines and even some nuclear plants. While sources say no attempts have been made to activate the Malware, cyber-security experts say the Malware is very advanced and could be used to trigger the shutdown of vital public utilities throughout the country.
Earlier this year, a similar attack infected computers at over 1, 000 energy companies in over 80 countries. That attack, which infected computers with a virus known as “Energetic Bear”, allowed hackers to take control of power plants and cripple their systems with the click of a mouse.
This new threat, allows hackers to take control of various industrial processes through infected computers. The hack became known to the industry last week when a DHS alert bulletin was issued by the agency’s Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team. The bulletin said the “BlackEnergy” penetration had been detected by several U.S. companies, and claimed it was the same malware used by a Russian cyber-espionage groups to target NATO and some energy and telecommunications companies in Europe earlier this year.

There is something to be said for human eyes on ANALOG monitors, HUMAN BRAINS for making critical decisions, and HUMAN HANDS on critical switches and valves. We didn't have to worry about this crap before computers took over functions that hands-on humans had performed for decades before.
