DHS walks back utility cyber warnings as Southern CEO says no grid emergency
Utility Dive: The U.S. electricity grid and other critical infrastructure assets face nearly continuous cyberattacks from both state-sponsored and independent adversaries. Last week, DHS announced during a public webinar that hackers have infiltrated multiple utility control rooms, gaining the ability to “throw switches” on the grid and cause blackouts.
Some cybersecurity experts, however, said the DHS statements may have overstated the threat. The agency said the cyberattacks have claimed “hundreds” of victims, more than the dozens it previously disclosed, but analysts said the hackers still do not have the ability to cause widespread outages.
