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.

So you got on the internet and announced top secret information

You do realize that you aren't really anonymous here right?

Your IP address is readily accessible
And in turn your UNCLE can easily be found...

:unimpressed:

I weep for our education system

Breh said keep 3 months of bill money in cash, then when asked why one would be worried about paying bills in such a chaotic event, breh says the cash has nothing to do with bills. :mjlol:

Then why tie the amount to bills in the first place? And why suggest keeping cash instead of the supplies you’re supposed to buy with that cash when shyt pops off? Wouldn’t it make more sense to get tooled up now in a state of calm and peace rather than in a state of chaos when the danger in walking around with large amounts of cash will be heightened and when those with supplies will likely be price gouging? :skip:

The Federal government has better security than any Utility company yet they still get hacked. Just because you have OT and IT networks segmented doesn't make it impossible to hack just harder. And I've worked in the Energy Industry and for the Federal government before.

And while I think it's almost impossible to bring down the entire grid all at once via cyber attack. I know most Utilities just like any other company dont stand a chance against state sponsored hackers.

And I do think a huge portion of energy utilities in the US probably have hackers inside their networks right now. Along with most companies because I see it everyday working in cybersecurity.

I feel what you’re saying but we’re not connected at all. Unless someone walked in and installed something to wirelessly put the servers on an outside network, we’re safe from N. Korea. I spent 8 years Army and Noticed that a lot of systems are wireless capable or two clicks from being on a network lol. Sometimes obsolete stuff is safer lol. Our admin stuff, I imagine is definitely vulnerable because it can actually be reached. Our process materials and servers aren’t able to join an outside network. Everything is physically contained with cables. We also don’t work for a private company. We’re a department of a local government.

now that I think about it. It is possible if the ability to remotely take over a computer is available. Reading your response made me remember how the dude in Vegas was on stage demonstrating he could penetrate a pacemaker lol. I think a lot of falls on regular personnel slipping up and giving up info or clicking things that they shouldn’t.

The biggest threat in my opinion are suppliers to these Utilities. Most of this equipment is treated like a black box which nobody can interfere with or touch. Who knows how much of it has been compromised already. I don't believe for a minute these networks are truly segmented from the Corporate network. The people in corporate IT are still providing equipment and support to the OT environment.
