The information includes details concerning electrical distribution infrastructure, substations, transformers, feeders, operational systems, renewable-generation assets, outage information, and SCADA/EMS-related environments. The compromise data also include highly sensitive authentication and security information, including control-system credentials, API keys, and OT security configurations.

In addition, we will take further disruptive actions to ensure that, in the future, those responsible for making these decisions approach the security of the resources entrusted to them—including the people within their area of responsibility—with greater awareness and seriousness. |
