This week’s essay of the week is shorter then most, but it should please the nerds in the audience. The essay is called How to Take Down the Power Grid. The author is a white hat hacker (they called him an analyst, but it is obvious that the dude hacked things) who used to work for the National Security Agency.

I am no expert, but the essay rings true to me. Especially since someone who works as a programmer at a large utility told me that a lot of critical data was being outsourced to Russia companies.
