"Dubbed "Industroyer" or "CrashOverRide," the grid-sabotaging malware was likely to be used in the December 2016 cyber attack against Ukrainian electric utility Ukrenergo, which the security firms say represents a dangerous advancement in critical infrastructure hacking."

Funny how they always know whats been used and by whom isn't it.

"The CrashOverRide malware can control electricity substation' switches and circuit breakers, designed decades ago, allowing an attacker to simply turning off power "distribution, cascading failures and causing more severe damage to equipment.

So it has pretty much 100 percent control, this information is public, and nothing has happened yet?

You would think some "tests" would have been performed prior. Time will tell.
