Previously, cyberattacks resulting in the targeted disruption of electricity to a geographic region were either hypothetical or featured sophisticated malware, such as Black Energy. Now, digital adversaries are adapting their tools, tactics, and procedures to threaten critical energy sector operational technology (OT) with less sophisticated, commercially available malware such as ransomware. In September 2019, ICIT and Forescout published a whitepaper, The Rise of Disruption
