Russian hackers strike at US electrical grid, report says

The code, which is associated with Grizzly Steppe, the Department of Homeland Security's name for a Russian hacking operation, was detected on a laptop associated with the utility but not attached to the grid, the utility said Friday.
"This is beyond hackers having electronic joy rides - this is now about trying to access utilities to potentially manipulate the grid and shut it down in the middle of winter," the Democratic senator said in a statement.
It is somewhat strange that suddenly Russia should go all nuclear on the US when Putin and Trump seem to be buddies. It's even more strange that there is no real proof, just a report that does not even deliver anything substantial.
