BBC news : UK infrastructure faces cyber threat, says GCHQ chief

"The UK's critical infrastructure - such as power grids and emergency services - faces a "real and credible" threat of cyber attack, the head of GCHQ says.

The intelligence agency's director Iain Lobban said the country's future economic prosperity rested on ensuring a defence against such assaults.
The internet created opportunities for hostile states and criminals, he said.
For example, 1,000 malicious e-mails a month are already being targeted at government computer networks, he said." ~ unknown

Okay it is nice to know that it is not just us. WAIT! This could happen to us too. Yes this is a very real threats for us in the U.S. and many other countries. Our main defense now is that our infrastructure is so outdated in many ways that it is obscure. Defense through obscurity is actually a way people think they can be secure, not so. Just as the U.K. needs to address this matter we here need this matter attended to. Please secure yourself and family.
