BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according to current and former national-security officials. The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, these officials said, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls.

Under the Bush administration, Congress approved $17 billion in secret funds to protect government networks, according to people familiar with the budget.

BAD HARDWARE verdict: Well, to me seems that alleged cyberspies were more likely installed during the long nights of lone personnel. Using company Internet for porn and some other goodies.

About $17B in secret funds, well seems tat they vaporized in unknown direction. What direction? Hmmm, if I would know than they wouldn't be called secret funds any more. Isn't it?
