Date: December 12th, 2018 12:32 AM Author: nighttime ceo According to the San Jose Mercury News, about 3:00 one morning a month after the attack, "a man dressed in all black was spotted ... in a field next to the property, setting off a large search by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. ... Sheriff's deputies searched the area but did not locate the man."
The attack "seems to have been the work of people who knew what they were doing," the Journal's Rebecca Smith just told NPR's Audie Cornish. The evidence, Smith said, indicates that the sniper or snipers "methodically" shot at equipment that would disable the substation if damaged — but also would not explode. Then, "one minute before police arrived, they faded into the night."

Date: December 12th, 2018 12:36 AM Author: charismatic wrinkle jewess "To avoid a blackout, electric-grid officials rerouted power around the site and asked power plants in Silicon Valley to produce more electricity. But it took utility workers 27 days to make repairs and bring the substation back to life."
So there were no outages and it only took half an hour to restore that very substation to service? doesn't seem concerning at all. in fact this is a perfect example of why the FERC's NPRM on cybersecurity is overreaching. the grid is actually incredibly resistant to failure because of how decentralized and redundant generation and distribution have always had to be to deal with the risk of lightning strikes and other disruption events. |

I think the concern is what would happen if there were like 70 stations hit at once. Imagine how tough that would be for the loyal followers of the several thousand Bay Area lifestyle and women’s fashion blogs. |
