America hacked Venezuela's grid to literally turn off the lights on Jan. 3. It could happen here, too | Fortune

Historical examples of this kind of attack include the Stuxnet malware that targeted Iranian nuclear enrichment plants. The malware destroyed centrifuges in 2009 by causing them to spin at dangerous speeds while feeding false "normal" data to operators. Another example is the Industroyer attack by Russia against Ukraine's energy sector in 2016. Industroyer malware targeted Ukraine's power grid, using the grid's own industrial communication protocols to directly open circuit breakers and cut power to Kyiv.
