Electricity Grid In U.S. Penetrated By Spies – The Wall Street Journal

Why should I be able to connect to the United States power grid from my house via the internet? I shouldn’t, and hackers shouldn’t be able to either. I don’t understand why some of the most important segments of the nations infrastructure is navigable via the  internet. I’m sure they are using VPN’s, firewalls, and Cisco’s latest technology but if there was ever a case for a point-to-point closed system, I think this would be it.
