The annual report by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation warns that the danger of attacks on the nation’s most critical infrastructure is growing owing to a number of factors.
Strategic adversaries have demonstrated the ability to disrupt critical infrastructure in North America, and criminal attacks on power substations such as those recently in North Carolina and the Pacific Northwest also are on the rise. NERC spokeswoman Rachel K. Sherrard declined to comment on the confidential report, but said most common security incidents were related to errant bullets by hunters, copper theft, arson and intrusions.
Critics in the past have faulted the industry group for not doing enough to protect the electric grid, in part due to concerns that increased security meant increased costs. A third attack took place in 2013 near San Jose, Calif., when snipers shot at a major power transmission substation, knocking out more than a dozen transformers.
A report by the congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission claimed that Chinese military groups have conducted rehearsal cyberattacks against electric grids, water treatment plants and industrial control systems.
Calls by every presidential regime since Carter, to harden the electrical grid-like China and Russia already have-ignored by the likes of Mitch McConnell, Schumer, Feinstein, etc….but you dults keep voting for the war that will guarantee nuclear EMP.
🚨
Talk about the most disruptive, less defended part of infrastructure this is it. If there isn't a comprehensive plan put in place this will be the growth industry for terrorists. Not enough is being done.
