Report: Cybercriminals have penetrated U.S. electrical grid

One of the most important military stratagies is that one must deny the enemy of their supplies and must protect their own supply lines.  For an enemy to infiltrate the supply line at the source is the ultimate in battle.  For an enemy to have the ability to shut down our own power grid is the ultimate coup to our very existance.
