Vermont utility confirms system breach by Russians
Evidence of Russian hacking has been detected in a Vermont utility system, a company spokesman confirmed Friday night.
A representative of Burlington Electric Department said
in statement that a Russian campaign linked to recent cyberattacks had
breached a single laptop within the utility, though it was not connected
to the organization's electrical grids.
“We took immediate action to isolate the laptop and alerted federal
officials of this finding,” Mike Kanarick, a spokesman for the utility,
said in the statement. “Our team is working with federal officials to
trace this malware and prevent any other attempts to infiltrate utility
systems.”
