DHS: reports of Illinois water system hacker attack were rife with bogosity

Brian Krebs reports: "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security today took aim at widespread media reports about a hacking incident that led to an equipment failure at a water system in Illinois, noting there was scant evidence to support any of the key details in those stories — including involvement by Russian hackers or that the outage at the facility was the result of a cyber incident." Could have told you so. When the Russians hack us, it won't be for our water, because they don't drink any. It'll be for our vodka.
