Just flipped on CNN, watching the masses snake through the streets of Manhattan as correspondents state that this could be an affect of the blaster worm. Interesting but I don't see how an worm of this magnitude (smaller than that of Slammer/Sapphire and others) could influence DCS and SCADA systems around the US, particularly just in the North East. Thoughts?
Well, it might be possible because the SCADA systems run on Windows 2000/XP and some are connected to the internet. <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cyberwar/view/> Includes some information about the power grid. <http://www.automationtechies.com/sitepages/pid641.php> Articles about SCADA systems. Just my two cents. - -- Yannick Van Osselaer Public Key: wwwkeys.us.pgp.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/PSP093+qyX+enAERAtr2AKCMIzYQmcSYvASuFpmZpGXjoUUYPwCglTJ/ qecUpYGZlsv98pLGRsFYaW8= =Ix+2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
