Critical Infrastructure

This week we conclude our discussions with Critical Infrastructure.  I find this to be an appropriate ending given the recent hearings about Ukraine.  As we all know Ukraine was hit with a cyber attack on their power grid back in December 2015.  We also know that there is a theory that Ukraine may have been behind the hacking of the 2016 DNC server.  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/11/25/ukraine-election-meddling-theory-continues/4296544002/ (Links to an external site.)

Your mission for this week is to:

1.  Read the presentation
2. Read the article from USA today in the link above

Discuss the following questions: 

1. How can one assess the cyber-attack capabilities of another nation? 
2. What steps do you personally believe you should do to protect yourself in case of an infrastructure attack? 
3. Do you believe Ukraine could be behind the DNC attacks and why?  I encourage you to consider this question from multiple angles and propose alternative ideas.  No idea is wrong or right - just substantiate why you believe what you believe.
