N. Korea has access to US Power Grid. He advises that i keep cash at home. Not no little amount either he says to keep at least three months of all my bills in straight cash at home.

This is crazy to me because my step pops which is pretty up there in the IT department for Dominion Power. Said they had a big meeting the other day and the meeting was all about how N Korea has access to US Power Grids.

:ohhh: you mean someone high up in the military thinks the poorest country on the planet is an actual threat? I wonder if that is why we are always at war

It doesn't take much money to do hacking/cyberattacks. Mostly just need a computer, internet, and hackers who know what they're doing.

NK hackers are likely trained by China and/or Russia so they know what they're doing.

OP I hope you using VPN cause a simple trace of your IP can lead to your uncle I'm assuming getting in serious trouble for this 'leak'

Obviously when I say that I'm speaking of in the parallel universe where this is not completely :duck: of course.

Also, access is very different than command and control

They may able to get portions of the powergrid, its another thing to be able to switch the power grid at a hit of a keyboard. That requires a whole other level of access



Sidenote:
Not sure if they have the hardware to be breaking US govt encryption in a powergrid scenario
