Power crisis! U.S. grid threatened by Hackers and in-Person attackers.
The U.S. electricity grid faces increasing threats from hackers targeting its vulnerable infrastructure, which often relies on small substations that are easy targets for physical attacks or cyber threats. In addition, outdated grid software exacerbates the problem, also making it susceptible to future attacks. If the grid is compromised, it could harm millions of consumers and create widespread chaos, meaning that preventative measures and stronger security protocols are needed to cut this growing risk.
