FBI director spills the beans Chinese hackers trying to shut down American water and power grid
Washington — Hackers backed by the Chinese government are targeting U.S. water treatment plants and electrical grids, strategically positioning themselves within critical infrastructure systems to "wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities," FBI Director Christopher Wray is expected to tell Congress Wednesday.

What happens if the Russians and Chinese get into a fight over controlling the American power grid:

Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility, showing risk to U.S. electrical grid security, officials say

Consumers could enter a period of chaos, not knowing whether to pay their utility bills to Moscow or Beijing.

Re: FBI director spills the beans Chinese hackers trying to shut down American water and power grid
The government is letting half the worlds poor, criminals, and who knows who else into the country to destroy our economy. They will probably welcome the damage any hackers will do. Of course they will play lip service to actually caring about any damage that is caused by the so called "Chinese hackers" lol.

Re: FBI director spills the beans Chinese hackers trying to shut down American water and power grid
WELP, I sure am glad tptb spent the last 40 years building China into some sort of "superpower". From dirt poor starving shitbird to superpower in 40 years. Unfortunately Germany still has industrial capacity but the Ukraine war and the green bullshit is getting rid of that.

China will appreciate Germany being hamstrung. A decade ago Germany was the number one exporter in the entire world. Tiny little Germany.

Chinese hackers should at least refrain from targeting US water treatment plants and electrical grids, wouldn't you say?

China uses hackers. Obama used F-18s to destroy water and power grids. But it was said they "did it to help Israel". Because the ideology of the Red Commie Pinko FBI is that "one Jew is worth 6000 whites." So why does Obama FBI "alert" when they have absolutely no effort to do anything about it?

Re: FBI director spills the beans Chinese hackers trying to shut down American water and power grid
The control systems that run these plants have been commercially available for 30 years. There have been upgrades and differences but not drastic.

We sell these to anyone in the world that will buy them and many of these pro's and companies sell more outside the US than inside.

They have some security controls in place but best practice is to have the operations systems disconnected from the IT systems with a "DMZ" so you can't get through the Internet.

The number of machines and stuff running in old PCs running windows XP would blow your mind.

It takes years to design in proper security into the hardware. If not you have to add devices or separate them.


We have major vulnerability here, that is all I will say.

Maybe this will cut down on the aluminium industrial waste called fluoride that we buy from them and put into the water? Why pay to dispose of industrial waste when you can sell it to a country run by j.

I think it is by the grace of God we still have power and electricity.

The experienced people with common sense were driven out by forced jabs and them quitting or dropping dead. Liberals and affirmative action hires can't learn a critical job in a week so it is truly a miracle we still have these blessings.
