Critical U.S. Infrastructure at Risk of Cyber Attack, Experts Warn
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/03/22/major-industries-vulnerable-cyber-attack/?test=latestnews

Just as the computers that ran Iran’s nuclear program were sabotaged and crippled by a cyber “super worm” virus, the software used to run much of America’s industrial, transportation and power infrastructure -- including nuclear power plants and major airports -- is vulnerable to cyber attack, and two software companies have revealed dozens of successful hacks to prove it.

Remember, the chance of an event occurring that already happened, is never Zero :xeye:

ive read before a while back that many experts think the Chinese have already hacked in and left behind some worm/malware inside our electrical grid,,waiting to be awoken...in the future it is almost a surety that something devastating will attack critical computer systems,imo

ive had a vision of this same scenario happening,,and soon..i hope not but i think 5 is too small a number..imagine 15-20 targeted,,along with public centers,buildings,etc etc..the difference this time is all would be ongoing crisis,compared to 9-11 where all terrorists were "down" and we only dealt with the aftermath,imagine trying to deal with 20-25 live scenarios with live armed groups in 20-25 different locals...
