Washington Post retracts story about Russian hack at Vermont utility
Quote:The Washington Post has retracted its story about Russian hackers penetrating the nation’s electricity grid with a virus found in a Burlington, Vt., electric company laptop.

“Authorities say there is no indication of that so far [that Russians had penetrated the US electric grid],” according to an editor’s note attached to a corrected version of the story on the paper’s website.

Biased news. If it fits the narrative, run it without checking it out.
