Abdulhayoglu Calls for Strengthening Cyber Grid Security
2009-04-09
Jersey City, NJ, April 09, 2009 - "Do we really want to build this smart
grid…for it only to be used against us?" Melih Abdulhayoglu's concern for the
security of the United States's electricity grid was prescient. "We've got to be
sure those smart meters are protected."
He spoke a day before Siobhan Gorman at the Wall Street Journal broke the news
that cyberspies, most likely from China and Russia had penetrated the cybergrid
that controls the US electrical supply, and had left behind potentially
disruptive software.
"The CIA has already admitted that cities have been taken down by criminal
activities, by attacks." American users of electricity are "lucrative targets,"
he said. He urged the US not to "build all our houses and homes into this thing
and make it all vulnerable."
Abdulhayoglu is an expert on Internet security. He is the founder of the Comodo
Companies, which distributes PC security software installed in tens of millions
of computers around the world and the second-largest issuer of high-assurance
SSL certificates.
