Cyber Attacks in U.S. on Utilities, Industries Rise

Today, Sept 30th, there was an article in our local paper describing the increasing number of cyber break-ins on U.S. utilities and other industries by attackers using very sophisticated methods.

The world's utilities and industries are apparently connecting equipment to global networks and as a result are becoming quite vulnerable. The article stated that the number of private organizations asking Homeland Security Department for help has increased from 57 last year to 81 so far this year.
