A power company in the Midwest hired a group of white hat hackers known as RedTeam Security to test its defenses. We followed them around for 3 days, as they attempted to break into buildings and hack into its network, with the goal of gaining full access. And it was all much easier than you might think. Based on our experiences, it would seem that power companies need to step up their game in the fight against cyber attackers or it could be "lights out."

Would be just as easy to discombobulate electricity supply to most of America by blowing up a few main transmission line towers. Supply should be diversified with generation from wind, solar and mini-hydro.
