The Burlington Electric Department confirmed Friday it had found on one of its laptops the malware code used in Grizzly Steppe, the name Homeland Security has applied to a Russian campaign linked to recent hacks. The company said U.S. utilities were alerted by the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday of the code.

Now private companies are going after innocent RUSSIA! This slander has to stop!

Why would innocent Russia want to control US Power Grids? It makes no sense.

"Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the world's leading thugs, (Russian President) Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely upon to support our quality-of-life, economy, health, and safety," the governor said in a statement.

This nonsense must STOP! It was probably hacked by some fat immobile loser !

Here's the response:
Show me the proof.
Russia did us a favor.
Why do u want to start ww3?

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I sure hope Mr Putin lets Mr Trump make America great again.
I mean, if that's what Russia wants, a strong America.
He'd much rather have that, I'm sure, than a weak America whose narcissistic leader he could easily manipulate.

It was malware from a program created in Ukraine and used by any low level hacker. Democrats really want to start war to have any excuse to prevent trump from getting in.

Lol did i even imply the opposite was the case?

of course not

 

[oldshadow]

Most likely it was hacking from Russia but proving it was state sponsored if it was is something different.

Was that Nigerian prince that wanted me to help him with his money sponsored by the government.

 

[Renard]

I can believe it, dat timing though. Is blaming Russia the new hip thing now.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

It's ok guys Russia's our friend now. Don't start WWW3 over the power grid when they're just trying to help like they did before. People need to get out more anyways and stop being slaves to their electronics. Americans are much too fat anyways.

Another black mark for Obama, all this hacking.
After all, he is and has been at the helm the past 8 years.

 

[oldshadow]

By the way this is nothing that we have not been warned about.

It was stated many years ago that the grid is and was at risk for hacking.

It was suggested long ago that a secure line was set up much lIke the SEC net but nothing was done.

lmao just how worthless pathetic is Muricas cyber defense.

lmao just how worthless pathetic is Muricas cyber defense.

Anything connected to the Web is hackable.

That's why systems like SEC net set up their own system with redundant securty.

It still can be gotten to but it has to be from the inside which is easier to control.

Malware at Jerk water USA electric plant??? Must be Muh Putin!!!!1

 

[TheGreatA]

When did I ever say it was?
You all trot this out like it isn't anything other than a failure of the Obama administration while somehow finding a way to bitch and moan about Trump.
