Cyberspies penetrate electrical grid:

Many people don't see it the way I do , This is a war ! China for years now have actively pursued a cyberwar , with the United States !  ,  I feel that the U.S. is failing the test of Cyber security and very soon could be Damaged by these Idiots , if nothing is done !
 Not being the smartest cookie in the bunch , it makes sense to me to play along !  Maybe our best and brightest Should return the favor of Infecting our system ?  we are better at doing things better in the first place ! my favorite would be to rip their underwater internet cables right off the ocean floor ( on accident of course )

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls, the newspaper said, citing current and former U.S. national security officials.

The intruders have not sought to damage the power grid or other key infrastructure but officials said they could try during a crisis or war, the paper said in a report on its website.

"The Chinese have attempted to map our infrastructure, such as the electrical grid," a senior intelligence official told the Journal. "So have the Russians."

The espionage appeared pervasive across the United States and does not target a particular company or region, said a former Department of Homeland Security official.

"There are intrusions, and they are growing," the former official told the paper, referring to electrical systems. "There were a lot last year."

The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama was not immediately available for comment on the newspaper report.
