“Somebody who finds vulnerability in our infrastructure could cause tremendous problems,” Army Gen. Keith Alexander, Director of the National Security Agency and chief of U.S. Cyber Command, told audience members at the Aspen Institute’s annual security forum late Thursday, according to multiple reports. Alexander said that since 2009, attempted cyber attacks on the nation’s infrastructure systems have risen seventeen-fold.

“I’m worried most about power. I’m worried about water. I think those are the ones that need the most help,” he said.
