Los hackers, según estos expertos, provinieron de China, Rusia y otros países.

"I am not a security expert but did work for a “Baby Bell” – now part of the new AT&T – and know that top management placed extreme emphasis on network security starting many (20) years ago. It looks like the electrical utilities are way behind the curve. For any infrastructure (grid, pipeline, sewer, FAA, etc.) control function to be accessible from the internet (or dialup) is inviting unauthorized operation with potentially disastrous results. Due to human factors, there is no such thing as perfect security, but by following “best practices” (network physical design/isolation, software/firewalls , compartmentation to limit damage and ongoing monitoring by security experts) , the risk can be minimized. Not inexpensive, but maybe more cost effective than the dollars spent on anti-missile defense".
