About a month ago I heard the Chinese (some mysterious, unknown government operatives?) hacked into our power grid network. The Chinese government of course denied any involvement.

North Korean's. Most of the attacks are on South Korea but they have hacked some usdotgov sites too.

Also alleged to be North Korean is the cyber-theft of millions of dollars of $$$ a week before the latest news. I am starting to wish I had a Buddhist prayer wheel. Is that an odd remark? I could draw you picture but I am hoping you get my drift.

thanks for taking the time to reply
I wonder if they make a prayer wheel that turns by wind power.
