14 June 2001 Cal-ISO Servers Compromised
Crackers recently infiltrated two servers that were part of a
development network at the California Independent System Operator
(ISO - an integral part of the power grid - raising concerns
that foreign governments or terrorist groups are probing the US's
critical infrastructure networks. Security specialists say they
cannot tell who was responsible for the attacks, and that many
security measures, including firewalls, tripwires, and logs, were
not in place.

[Editor's (Murray) Note: One might well ask why systems intended
for the development of such a sensitive application are connected
to the public network at all, much less without routine security
measures.]
