A report issued by the US Department of Homeland Security - reported today in the New York Times here: https://nyti.ms/2Dv2gXY - states that there has been a years-long program of cyberattacks by Russian operatives that has extended into the control rooms of US utility plants. The report implies that these attacks have been successful, to the point of the attackers gaining access to operational control systems, with the possible capability of shutting down or even damaging (potentially catastrophically) the plants.
This is pretty shocking given the high profile that cybersecurity has been given for well over a decade by the ISA and other industry groups. Is everyone asleep at the switch?
