Revised Senate cybersecurity legislation introduced

http://j.mp/Q8ORLg  (Huffington)

   "Obama warned that future conflicts may involve hackers from other
    countries bringing down the U.S. banking system, disrupting the flow
    of clean water at hospital or causing widespread blackouts.  He urged
    Congress to pass a revised cyber security bill that was introduced in
    the Senate on Thursday."

Only dirty water at hospitals!  Blackouts triggered by systems that
shouldn't be on the Internet in the first place!  ATM's dispensing
playing cards instead of cash!  Oh, those hackers ...
