BlackEnergy Trojan Proves U.S. Critical Infrastructure Vulnerable

Russian hackers inserted the BlackEnergy Trojan into software that runs much of the U.S.s critical infrastructure back in 2011. Here to comment on this news is cyber security expert Philip Lieberman, president of Lieberman Software: In a few hours, you can own the infrastructure of a country. In many cases, systems have factory default passwords, passwords that are stored on spreadsheets and openly shared on the company network, Lieberman says. My best guess is that someone will need to die as a result of a nation state attack to get the Obama administration to take concrete action to shore up this national problem.”]
