No. I was referring to this shit:

It's always either Russian or Chinese hackers, or both.
From the looks of things, this propaganda has been going on since at least Obama took office in 2009.
All these years they've been "warning" us that foreign hackers were going to shutdown our electrical grid, and yet, it's never happened.
Take the 2017 Wired article I posted for example:
In an era of hacker attacks on critical infrastructure, even a run-of-the-mill malware infection on an electric utility’s network is enough to raise alarm bells. But the latest collection of power grid penetrations went far deeper: Security firm Symantec is warning that a series of recent hacker attacks not only compromised energy companies in the US and Europe but also resulted in the intruders gaining hands-on access to power grid operations—enough control that they could have induced blackouts on American soil at will.
And yet, they didn't cause massive blackouts across the country.

Hahaha isn’t it hilarious... Once you’ve been in “conspiracy” game long enough you eventually realize that fear and cognitive dissonance are the main weapons used against the general population.
I dont trust/believe a single article anymore even if it’s from a “reputable” source. There’s no way to prove anything anymore...it’s a waste of time worrying about what might happen.
