agree to Tom Donahue , a CIA functionary , hackers have late infiltrated various power grid outside the US , and in at least one example , have a world power outage in multiple metropolis . We do n’t have sex much else : the when , where , how and who were all left for guessing only . But we know that the attacks were done remotely ( through the cyberspace ) and that current Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ( SCADA ) system ( that , as we understand it , act many of the Earth ’s infrastructural networks , software and database ) are unhappily out of date .
At the hack normal DefCon , surety business firm Tipping Point gave a intro outline various SCADA vulnerabilities , and others in the know are claiming that these vulnerabilities are leading to major electronic extortion of service program company , to the melodic line of hundreds of trillion of dollars .
Meanwhile , the CIA is questioning whether or not SCADA is the vulnerability in question .
I ’m just hoping that said hackers experience next door to me , and that therefore my power is good and sound . [ forbes ]
