Keep an Eye on Infrastructure

With an ever growing fear of China attacking & infiltrating our infrastructure, it's important to keep an eye on what's being presented at BlackHat this week.  The confirmation will be if you see the same topics covered at Defcon this weekend, where folks trade in corporate sponsorship for headline grabbing hacks.

If you have a smart meter, it's accessible via 2.4Ghz.  If you have a wireless water meter, it's wirelessly accessible too.  Big deal right?  Except one guy has already found exploits in PLCs (chips) which seems to be much like Stuxnet stuff.
