CIA announces hackers are taking down power grids in several cities? WTF

This is topping all the major news services online right now, and all I can say is WTF!

I especially love this snippet of the story:

Full story here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,141564-c,hackers/article.html

It's the #1 news item on Google Sci/Tech News and several other news syndication sites right now.

 

Ahh, It is like Live free or die hard !!!!

 

true or not,
I have major sites I usually visit down..
probably those sites have datacenters in those mentioned cities?

 

I wonder this is the reason behind rapidshare.com down time.

 

DieHard 4.0

 

FIRESALE!!! everything must go

 

Is there any Bruce Wilis?
Who will save those cities from those hackers?
Please someone call Bruce

 

I really have to see that movie now...

That's one of the nice things about living in a small town. Nobody cares about taking down our power supply...

 

and I thought we were slow having just seen it a few weeks ago

off to go buy me a generator

 

lol i'd love to see how they did it through the web.

 

I don't have that fancy BB thing that delivers the movies to your front door...

 

Are you sure you're not watching die hard 4?

 

nor will I very soon, BB blows the goats

 

The news story says CNN posted a story back in Sept about a research lab being able to take down one of the servers that manages these services. Can anybody find the video of this and post the link? I'd really like to see that.
