How Vulnerable Is Our Power Grid? 359

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday November 11, 2009 @10:35AM from the dc-is-screwed-but-ac-will-be-fine dept.

coreboarder writes "Recently it was divulged that the Brazilian power infrastructure was compromised by hackers. Then it was announced that it was apparently faulty equipment. A downplay to the global public or an honest clarification? Either way, it raises the question: how vulnerable are we, really?
