It Was Only a Matter of Time

A public water system in Illinois was shut down by a foreign hacker in the first known (or admitted) incident of foreign cyber-sabotage. This will be a major front in the next war and perhaps a decisive one.

Imagine the Chinese moving on Taiwan and the U.S. dispatching a carrier task force in response. China sinks our carrier with its supersonic cruise missiles and the U.S. goes to war-footing. While we dither about a response, China locks up the U.S. power grid and a majority of the water system and threatens worse. Checkmate? At the very least, it brings a far-away conflict literally into the homeland.

I hope that somebody is working on countermeasures, but this incident doesn't do much to raise my confidence level.
