Panetta says cyber attackers accessed controls for critical US infrastructure
Defense secretary bluntly warns we're in 'pre-9-11 moment' that could precede catastrophic attack, hints Iran involved
“They are targeting the computer control systems that operate chemical, electricity and water plants, and those that guide transportation throughout the country,” he added. “We know of specific instances where intruders have successfully gained access to these control systems. We also know they are seeking to create advanced tools to attack these systems and cause panic, destruction, and even the loss of life.”
Be prepared...........(my point)
