The Washington Post reported Friday that the U.S. power grid had been hacked by the same Russian actors accused of breaching the DNC.
There’s just one problem.
According to InfoWars, the grid wasn’t hacked.
According to the report, malicious “code” was found within the system of a utility company in Vermont. The article said that while the code did not disrupt operations, it “underscores the vulnerabilities of the nation’s electrical grid,” stirring fear among Americans on social media.
It was soon revealed that the malware had only infected a company laptop that had no access whatsoever to the electrical grid.
The Post eventually retracted the story.
