US Electricity Grid Penetrated

The Chinese are getting the blame for cyber crime again following this report from the Wall Street Journal about how the US grid has been penetrated and is being spied upon by foreign interests. I´m not sure how much of this is scaremongering again, though the potential damage to critical infrastructure and SCADA systems from cyber attacks has already been demonstrated by the likes of the Slammer worm. This isn´t really news I´m afraid. How much of this is and its timing is related to political interests in the Far East and the pitiful state of the US economy?
