Bryan Vorndran, an assistant director in the FBI's cyber division reported that Russian hackers have been scanning the systems of energy companies and other critical infrastructure in the United States during a hearing before a U.S. House of Representatives panel last Tuesday.


In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Chip Harris, a certified ethical hacker pen, tester, forensic investigator, and auditor for a three-letter agency, to explain in more layman's terms the severity and precautions utilities companies can take regarding this lingering threat.


Chip has completed 7 tours of Duty in Afghanistan and 1 in Mexico as a PMC – Private Military Contractor - to the DOD and DEA. He currently works for the NIH and CDC for DMI and is a writer and content provider for the University of Arizona - Post Grad program writing a textbook on Counterterrorism, Counter-Intelligence, and Cybersecurity.
