“Cyberspionnen” zijn het elektriciteitsnet van de Verenigde Staten binnengedrongen

“Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national-security officials,” zo meldt The Wall Street Journal in het artikel ‘Electricity Grid in U.S. Penetrated By Spies’.

Verslaggeefster Sioban Gorman van de Amerikaanse krant schrijft: “The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, these officials said, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls. The intruders haven't sought to damage the power grid or other key infrastructure, but officials warned they could try during a crisis or war.”
