    I recall a story from a few years ago that reported Russian hackers had already hacked into some sensitive portions of the electrical grid. I imagine they knew that there would be consequences if they played around too much- but the capability to cause great chaos was there. Maybe still is.

    Actually attempts to hack large organizations happens around the clock it just takes a mistake on the other side. You can use tools like sniffers to look for vulnerable ports allowing a way in to a system, obviously the more robust a system is the more difficult it is to find a way in.

    Also trojans can be downloaded to a users PC if the user mistakenly goes to a website which can be very easy to trick some people, I have seen really good fake emails for Scotia bank and CIBC fishing for information, The last one I received I showed Scotiabank what was going on and it was the first they had seen an email followed up by the Scammer calling my number.

    Every system out there can be broken into if your side makes a mistake..

    I have theorized of some virus you could build that could do unbelievable things I'm just surprised nobody has done it yet.

    Yeah you could pretty much call it the Cyber Mafia. Then there are the smaller groups and the independents.
    No amount of firewalls can ever defend 100% all it takes is a human mistake or a bug in the programming to allow someone in or be completely disconnected from the internet. But considering office PC always have access to something or maybe there are code stored someplace. When I was managing data for a radar system (Yes I am allowed to say that) all the data was generated to a Database that had no connection to the internet to check the data I had to physically to the computer and login that was unhackable.

    I was going to learn how to use a few of the tools, I wanted to screw around with some Hackers for fun like you see on Youtube, I downloaded the some tools spent one night but got bored.

    You set up a virtual system running on your computer and you allow them into the virtual system and with the right tools you can get into their system as they leave themselves open expecting you to be stupid.

    Yeah I get bored easily
