Hackers Hit Computers Running Calif.'s Power Grid
A computer system that controls much of the flow of electricity across California was under siege from hackers for at least 17 days during the height of the state's ongoing power crisis, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. The cyber attack, while apparently limited, exposed security lapses in the system that the California Independent Systems Operator (Cal-ISO) uses to oversee most of the state's massive electricity transmission grid and connect to the grid for the western United States.
