Why don’t they just quietly correct the problem instead of publically blabbing about it?

Who are they blabbing to, the Russians?

Besides, we can’t build political pressure for national preparedness and defensive measures unless we publicize threats, and this one is already in the system.

Power company investors and their customers didn't want to pay for correcting the longstanding and widely known problem. If a political effort to correct the problem were to commence, many more would publicly talk about it. It would be seen and heard by all. But obviously now, such political effort has already begun, and after all to follow, the problem still won't be solved (incompetence in commercial information technology, greed, big spending, etc.).

If they could fix it they would. Its probably quite expensive to update all their systems and they just wont do it.

Exactly. I’m skeptical about how serious this is. If this Trojan is embedded in “The hacked software” - whatever that is - why hasn’t it been activated?
