We've known and talked pretty openly in mainstream media about how trivial an attack like this would be. Seriously can't get away from the gut feeling that this may be the tip of an iceberg here.

@alyssam_infosec was just staring out the window thinking the same thing.
@zebpalmer I remember having conversations with folks at National Grid back in 2012. The things they told me back then were scary AF, this story now has me wondering how much if any of that they and others like them have been able to address in the last 10 years.

Friends with linemen and other assorted infrastructure support types.

They've addressed fucking nothing.
