The Washington Post has retracted its story about Russian hackers penetrating the nation’s electricity grid with a virus found in a Burlington, Vt., electric company laptop.

“Authorities say there is no indication of that so far [that Russians had penetrated the US electric grid],” according to an editor’s note attached to a corrected version of the story on the paper’s Web site.

News of the supposed hack had set off a firestorm of recriminations, with Vermont leaders calling Russian President Vladimir Putin “a thug” earlier Saturday, after one of the state’s electric utilities found a virus on a laptop computer.

A utility spokesman has also told the Burlington Free Press the laptop was not hooked into the grid.

And the fools bought it hook, line and sinker.

Apparently they did succeed in taking over the WaPo though.

That will be the next accusation I am sure.

CNN uses screenshot from ‘Fallout 4’ to show how Russians hack things





The steeple that swallowed the Clinton lie and the main stream media are trying their hardest to push the anti Russia agenda.

The doc email leaks were released by wikileaks. Wikileaks have said that they didn't get the emails from russians. In fact Assange said that it was an American Seth Rick that gave them the emails. He worked for the dnc


Where is Mr Rick now ?

Oh he's dead. Suicide. Shot in the back in Washington.

But just ignore all that, it's clearly putin to blame for the Clinton witch not winning.

Ever?

Huh, surprising you trust a murderer over your president.

Of course not... nor should Obama.

Nevertheless... the WAPO story of the Russians hacking Vermont's power grid was a fake story and fake news.

Perhaps, but that's a deflection.

Question is, are the Russians hacking you and for what purpose?

Are you a Republican? Just a question btw.
