Go and read that Wired story on the Ukraine power grid hacks.

They gained access the same way they got into the DNC - spear-phishing passwords.

But what they did once they were in is frankly terrifying. And between the first and second power grid hacks they improved their methods. The second hack was way more precise and total than the first.

I shudder to think what the US populace, used to having their noses buried in their smart phones, would do if those little screens went blank for any amount of time.

Most people will adjustl; it’s what they do. I see it when the power goes out in my neighborhood. People eventually wonder outside and talk to their neighbors.

I do worry about those of us who are news junkies.
