The Hill

The identification of malware tied to a cyberattack on Ukraine last year is putting a renewed focus on threats to America’s electric grid.
Security firms ESET and Dragos revealed the malware, dubbed “Crash Override” or “Industroyer,” this week. According to the researchers, the malware is only the second to be tailored to industrial control systems and developed and deployed to be disruptive — the first was the Stuxnet virus that ravaged Iran’s nuclear program years ago.
