Our electric grid is vulnerable to a cyber attack and come to think of it so is every other piece of U.S. infrastructure. That not so happy tale was painted by a bevy of folks in a 60 Minutes report. 60 Minutes also unearthed an attack on Brazil's grid. In a nutshell:
- We're not ready for a cyberattack;
- The hackers can move much faster than the U.S. government;
- A lot of the worst attacks will revolve around the power grid since everything needs electricity.
For those people paying attention to security none of this news is all that surprising.
