While there is movement in DHS and DoD the private sector is all but at a standstill.

Yes Admiral McConnell is correct we are vulnerable in cyber-space, but so is every industrialized nation. Yes Hackers are probing the critical infrastructure, probably even some on the payrolls of other countries. Rep Langevin is concerned with the security of the infrastructure, but also he he is pissed off because the utilities called before his committee "lied" to him. He said in the video, and then says he wants to change the system so they will be accountable to the government. He has the power companies in his sights. Kevin needs to stop asking when something is going to be doen and start realizing nothing in a bureaucracy happens overnight. DHS just opened its National Cyber Center on 30 October. Cyber Command is moving from intial operating capability to full capability as we speak. Action is being taken, sorry if it isn't fast enough for you.

Just last week I was saying to Zandor that “this is nothing like a Miley Cyrus concert, these people have gravitas!” He though I as saying they were all lard asses living in their mums basement until I explained gravitas to him.

Wouldn’t it be just so much easier if you found another Website that's more to your liking?

Brazilians don't even have any radical parties, discriminated minorities or fundamentalistic clerics etc., just lots of crazy U.S. American sects! So, next time when you digress about a country you know nothing about, try not to describe it through the impoverishing prism of the U.S.A. and its "G.W.O.T." . Part II :

Name them, or their groups, or their victims, NAME JUST ANYTHING to back this truly ignorant claim! Or ask the poster "Vitor", a(nother) Brazilian on the newer thread about the same topic, Christian Lowe's "Brazil’s Blackout Soot or Cyber?" article, if you don't believe ME . I'm French, but I spent most of my life there – and most of my family still lives there! Muggers yes, burglars yes (we shot quite a few there), and every Brazilian is corrupt like a pig too, but terrorists... NO !!! 99 % of all Brazilian criminals are even too primitive to use rifles with or without scopes for their assassinations, can you imagine that? I believe that they're also too drugged to use automatic weapons properly! Which makes them not less lethal, even in broad public and in front of C.C.TV's. Imagine for example that you're a honest but indebted hotel receptionist, and your interests are overdue to a loan shark. That's what happens to you, in front of all clients, “live” on TV : (Continued) Part I :

And short of being fans of "60 Minutes", they had no special motivation? They must be pretty angry at Saint Peter for having sent a tropical storm in that precise moment to that precise spot, which casts slight doubts now over their claims...

The hackers then move on those systems just to prove they can! Been that way for years and several nation states and extremists operate the same way.
