Ukraine’s power outage was a cyber attack

I find this cyber attack the cut off power very troubling. Our rapid advance in technology many times seems to be creating less robust versions of the technology.

I’m not a luddite who wants to return to the old.
Sure my grandfather never suffered a “service interruption” at home. But it was because he did have any services.

However, most of us do not realize how fragile our infrastructure is. I hope we wake up to this before we suffer a serious outage.
