- Russian hackers gained access to the networks of U.S. electric utilities last year, claiming "hundreds of victims" in a campaign that could have allowed them to cause blackouts, according to U.S. government officials, who believe the campaign probably is continuing.
- The Department of Homeland Security has been warning utility executives about the Russian threat to critical infrastructure since 2014, but a briefing yesterday was the first time the agency had provided information in an unclassified setting with so much detail.
- The DHS continues to withhold the names of victims but now says there were hundreds of victims, not a few dozen as had been said previously.
