Report: Many U.S. electric companies are facing attack attempts on daily basis. Most are still meeting only mandatory security requirements under NERC post-Stuxnet, not any of voluntary practices. Report: More than 12 of the 113 utilities that responded to the Congressional survey say they face either daily, constant, or frequent attack attempts, such as malware infections, phishing, and “unfriendly probes” into their networks. One utility says it faces 10,000 attack attempts per month; another provider in Midwest says it’s network is probed daily for vulnerabilities.”]
