The Swedes Almost Lost Their Heating

Swedish security officials spent their afternoon dealing with pro-Russian hackers attempting to dismantle a thermal power plant, because apparently warmth is a privilege, not a right. This bit of theatre targeted infrastructure that keeps people from freezing, though the intruders were thankfully unsuccessful in their quest for cold-blooded chaos. It's a delightful reminder for energy providers across Europe and the UK that their systems are permanent targets for state-sponsored hobbyists. To avoid becoming a cautionary tale in a dark room, infrastructure managers should consider that 'security through obscurity' is as effective as a screen door on a submarine.
