The internet of things and russia

I just saw Malcom Nance on msnbc talking about the hacks here and abroad. One of the things he brought up was that russia doesn't just go after emails and info. They also do things like in the Ukraine where they shut down 3 power plants. Over the years there have been more things like plants, offshore platforms, etc that have internet remote control capabilities. I have worked on systems that have remote control and there are a lot out there already. The number is growing each day.


When dipshit donnie ignores the threat to the U.S. by trying to confuse or discount what the experts say. His ignorance and him ignoring the things that can and probably will happen just puts us at further risk.
