The attackers targeted the plant's programmable logic controller (PLC) to force the system offline. This incident highlights a growing wartime cyber tactic where actors exploit internet-connected industrial equipment at small facilities. These smaller sites often lack the funding and personnel required for robust defense, leaving a gap in the security of the national power network.
