미 발전소 사이버 공격 (컴퓨터보안)

 

Wireless devices are definitely convenient, but not always that safe. When used in shared wireless servers or unsecured websites, it’s really easy for hackers to download your information without you even knowing it. You need to treat these devices with the same care that you do your work computer because….if not, ‘Sergeant병장 King, nice credit card purchase.’

 

Here at home, a warning tonight that our electrical system is at risk of a cyber attack because spies from other countries have been hacking into it. Computer experts say those hackers want to know how America’s power grid발전소 works and how to stop it from working. Here’s Bob Orr.

 

When the lights went out from the Midwest to the northeast in 2003, a computer software bug was blamed for helping to spread the cascading종속으로 접속된 power failure. Now security officials are warning the next blackout정전 could be deliberately고의적으로 triggered야기시키다 by cyber spies who’ve infiltrated침투하다 America’s power system.

 

A report in today’s Wall Street Journal says sophisticated정교한 세련된 hackers have planted software programs that could disrupt두절시키다 electric service. “What we’re seeing today is prepping준비하다 the battlefield for 21st Century warfare.” CBS News cyber analyst Paul Kurtz says sophisticated hackers, many sponsored by Russia and China, are daily attacking the computer systems of critical government and private facilities, everything from the Pentagon to nuclear power plants just as America has used spy planes and satellites.

 

"They want to understand how it operates, who's connected and a particular interest has been large infrastructure like the electrical power grid, the financial infrastructure, how it works.” Experienced hacker Kevin Pulse who now writes for Wired.Com spent years breaking into computer systems. He questions whether cyber spies could really cause significant disruptions like a major blackout. But the government insists the cyber risk is growing. While, billions have been spent to plug holes결점을 은폐하다, security officials warn the Internet remains a welcome mat for enemies looking to take advantage. Bob Orr, CBS News, Washington.
