Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Every computer system on the planet does NOT have to be connected to the world via the internet. At best, perhaps a local network, but the internet can be a pretty wild and dangerous place for control machines of this nature.
Fortunately my water supply is from a well on my own property. But still, a lot of damage can be caused by malicious operators as well as planned targets for hostile nations.

Bean counters hate spending money on IT security because they don't see the need for it until it's too late.

You would think these people would learn from the voting machines that weren't connected to the internet...

Largest Beef/Pork/Poultry Producer Hit with Ransomware
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jbs-cyb...er-ransomware/
Glad I put a half beef and half hog in the freezer not too long ago. Meat prices were going higher anyway due to increased food/fuel costs, not being able to process critters for even a week will mean bare shelves and high prices shortly.
If you don't have a generator, get one. I would not be surprised to see an attempt on the power grid in July or August as that would cause the most damage in terms of human deaths and lost/spoiled perishable foods.

I would guess it is more likely some other entity other than Russia involved, trying to make it LOOK like Russia is behind it all.
But in any event, gee, isn't it really cool having EVERYTHING controlled by computers?

Yeah, um. Well. Sure. OK. Hmm.
The generator suggestion is a good one. We got one a few years ago to be able to deal with extreme weather, but a blizzard or tornado (that's what took us off line for five days and motivated the generator purchase) is nothing compared to a multi-state blackout. Keep lots of fuel on hand, too, since gas pumps run on electricity too.
We have a Honda 3000iS that runs the whole reptile room, 2 bigger fish tanks, the fridge and 2 chest freezers. Highly recommended.

Both Russia and China have put a lot of resources into state-grown/trained hackers.
Neither country likes us very much.
