Cyber Threats to the U.S. Electric Grid Are Real (From The National Interest)

January 10, 2017January 10, 2017Constance Douris, M.A.

On December 30th, the Washington Post incorrectly reported that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid through a Vermont utility. While this story ended up being an error as malicious code was found in a computer which was not connected to the grid, it highlights the importance of protecting the U.S. electric grid from cyber-attacks. The federal government, some states and the private sector are implementing programs, especially ones that focus on information sharing, to keep the power grid safe from such threats. I have written a commentary on this subject for The National Interest here.
