Electricity infrastructure as most prominent to be secured to the hacker's attack
Last week, Poland has been holding election
to the local governments. Unfortunately, the IT system devoted to calculation of
the votes and further transmission of the counted information has failed. Some
of the observers (rather radical) are claiming that it was a trial of election’s
manipulation – others comment the situation as the breakdown of electronic
system.
It is impossible to avoid the situation in
which the discussion regarding other IT system is raised. Reporters of one of
the biggest Polish daily newspapers – “ Gazeta Wyborcza” – raised a question of
the security of other IT systems and their resistance to failures. According to
the authors of discussed article, in case of hackers’ attack, electricity
infrastructure would be the one suffering the most.
