So was the laptop hacked? I heard the laptop was hacked but not connected to the grid in any way.

"Soon after publication of the Post’s story, it was revealed that the malware had only infected a utility company laptop that had no access whatsoever to the electrical grid"

Employee probably tried to access Russian porn on his work lap top.

"So was the laptop hacked?"

Probably not even "hacked," but a victim of a dime-a-dozen phishing attack, targeting thousands of email addresses.

The Wapo is fake or this story of it?

I’ve noticed all the Wapo stories call the Russian hack ‘alleged’.

They just want everyone to believe their accusing headline.

“Fake but accurate”

From an Orwellian perspective, this is a true statement; after all, since nobody hacked the DNC, it could be said the same people hacked the utility. See? This is accurate...sorta

I hate lies and I hate the liars more. I heard this presented as fact on the early morning radio shows.

There should be consequences for lying. Bad ones. If there were any justice there would be.

Since it’s usually the WaPo that starts these fake news stories we have to ask “Who is their source?”. I suggest it’s the white house. They’re trying to get the people on board for a war with Russia.
