ISIS eyes nation's power grid......

ISIS hackers are attempting to penetrate the US energy grid to carry out cyberattacks and take down parts of the country's energy supply, CNN Money reports.

The hackers, however, have so far proved to be inept. [yes, but for how long?]

Law-enforcement officials shared the information about attempted cyberattacks at a conference on October 14 with American energy firms about potential national-security issues.

"Strong intent. Thankfully, low capability," John Riggi, a section chief in the FBI's cyber division, told CNN about ISIS' hacking attempts.

"But the concern is that they'll buy that capability."

That concern is warranted, the FBI told CNN. Highly capable hacking software is available for purchase on the black market and could be used to hack networks associated with energy companies, fuel refineries, or water-pumping stations.

Because of the size and complexity of America's utility grids, and a lack of due diligence, US infrastructure is vulnerable to advanced cyberattacks — from terrorists or, more likely, from rival governments that already have the necessary capabilities.

A survey in 2013 found more than 500,000 potential targets for cyberattacks against computers associated with power plants, water treatment centers, traffic control towers, and various portions of the electrical grid.

As worrying as that sounds, however, the likelihood that ISIS could carry out a catastrophic cyberattack against the US energy grid remains incredibly small.

This is in large part because of just how complicated and disconnected power grids are at the national level because of the large number of various providers and their own infrastructure and networks.

Perhaps we need some redundancy,that is not tied to the grid. Its doable,but would require more manpower or operators.

Got me a generator. Plus, LI can disconnect from the mainland power grid if need be.
