Anyway, it seems some people are waking up ... slightly.

"We've been saying for years that smart meters are targets for hackers but companies looking to make money from this technology have ploughed ahead regardless," our source said. "Now it seems that governments and the legal authorities are finally waking up to what a big threat this is".

I'll take a smart meter ...... so long as there is something in the contract that stipulates I get paid £7,000,000 as soon as it gets hacked.
