Greenwald: Wash Post Got Story Wrong on Russian Hackers Breaching Electrical Grid
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.

fukk you wapo
So, the Russians didn't hack the US?
Ever?
Huh, surprising you trust a murderer over your president.
This is why liberals are so easy to beat... each and every time.
So the Russians are to be trusted?
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.
