Combined heat and power plant
Critical events
Event description
This afternoon, hackers attacked a CHP steam turbine in State F. Hundreds of settlements nationwide were left without power.
Since the beginning of the heating season, several dozen fake domains have appeared on the internet, echoing the names of state energy companies, in particular F-Gas and F-Power. The likely objective was to harvest data on employees in the energy sector. This information was then used for attacks on industrial facilities.
Hackers were able to break into the CHP control system and stop the steam turbine. As a result, parts of State F were left without power. This brought transport, government, and commercial services to a halt. Malls and retail stores were forced to close in the middle of the working day because without cash registers there can be no trade.
According to government estimates, the total damage to the economy is already in the tens of millions of dollars. The country’s leadership has been forced to publicly justify itself. Newspapers accuse hackers of involvement in the attack on the power plant.
Consequences
1. Enterprise closure
2. Financial damage
3. Public discontent
