@snlyngaas Gotta continue to harden infrastructure. Russia’s biggest success recently has been the cyber hack of the ship that took down the key bridge but unfortunately success has been seen with train derailments, ammunition, chemical and plant sabotage and infrastructure hits
@snlyngaas "The EPA in Oct. was forced to rescind a key cybersecurity regulation for public water systems following a legal challenge from Republican attorneys general." "The law could have put simple measures in place & prevented recent attacks on the water systems."
@snlyngaas @davetroy Did they still want to secede?
