As a cyber, he can delete almost all Europe and Brazil.

António Costa, the President of the Council of Europe, made it clear. “No cyber evidence“About 28 Monday about the darkening of European countries in the dark. Portugal and Spain affected the main.

There is no clear explanation of the problem that started on the morning of Europe. Authorities point to climate events such as excessive heat, cable failures and electrical station networks to justify the blackout.

Enisa (European Cyber ​​Security Agency) pointed out that the reasons are caused by a technical failure: “Currently, the investigation draws attention to the problem of technical or cable.

Coincidentally, 28 Monday morning from the Netherlands (Netherlands) was attacked several areas. The attacks were requested by cyber criminals of the Russian group.

Users in various social networks also comment on the possibility of a denial attack (DDO) on the Iberian Peninsula. However, the latter is almost impossible, and now let’s make more comments about how a cyber can delete an entire area.

Are you attacking DDOS to overthrow electricity?

DNAIAL Service Donation (DDOS) is an overload that contains a website or service on the server, which leads the server to “reject the service” of those who try to access the page during this period.

Such an attack benefits from the fact that each server has a limit, maximum usage and forces it to fulfill a few demands from various origins with a large amount of desire. When this capacity is exceeded, the level of service decreases, which may mean a total page drop or slowness in the navigation.

Although cyberlik was widespread, they were not responsible for overturning the energy infrastructure of a country.

“This doesn’t make sense,” says Sage Networks Technology Director Thiago Ayub. “The command and control of the electrical system even in Brazil is done over the internet. Transmission lines have their own fiber optics for monitoring and control. This is as complete as our fiber tenants: the electricity sector industry for the telecom sector.”

In order to think of DDOs, Ayub adds that the European electricity industry should be amateur. In this case, the company is Eleetronet.

The attacks on SCADA would be more real

The attack on the infrastructure would be more convincing. AYUB, “SCADA attacks, yes, they will make more sense. The type of equipment interested in such systems,” he says.

SCADA CONTROL SYSTEMS check and acquiring central data for the operation. In short, they allow the remote and real -time monitoring and control of industrial processes. In short, A software and hardware system used to monitor, control and manage industrial processes such as energy, water, gas and oil.

The entire power network of a government or region is controlled by SCADA.

Infrastructure attacks are increasing

According to a US KLRD (Kansas Legislative Research Department) report in 2023, “The US Department of Energy (DEE) reported at least 175 physical attacks or threats against critical power network infrastructure, including cases of theft and vandalism, control point certificate 1.162 public service, increase in public service, increase of 70, 70, the same increase”.

This shows that the authorities are already related to cyber attacks on the grills.

In the same report, Klrd said, “Although few of these attacks affected the network, the North American Electrical Reliability Company (NERC) reported that the sensitivity points continue to increase as the network expands and combines new technologies.

Last year, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that electrical networks are vulnerable cyber attacks, ranging from increasing violations to the number of low professional number prepared to deal with this increase.

“Cyber ​​attacks are increasing in the electricity sector, but our analysis shows that the concession holders face serious difficulties to find and protect qualified professionals to defend themselves.”

India has already been attacked

Mumbai, which is India’s “financial capital ,, had already experienced a type of dimming in 2021.

At that time, a report drew attention to the possible evidence of the 14 “Trojan horse” program included in the city’s energy system. The Indians still accused Chinese actors of the attack. China was rejected in a statement.

Millions of citizens have come to power for more than 12 hours, trains stopped, online vehicles and mobile phone services collapsed.

There may be an attack on SCADA

In an interview TecmundoThiago Ayub warns that an important vector is used by technicians operating the SCADA system.

“Although they are not usually connected to the internet, it is possible to control or even access to a SCADA device or even remote access through local network or infected files brought by the employees of electrical companies.”

According to Ayub, “Most of these computers use old operating systems (such as Windows XP) and do not receive much update because they are a separate computer network system that facilitates the known security deficits. The secret is to isolate it from this environment: Any communication with other computers, a communication with a network or even a cyber is an introduction port.”

This means that these computers may be affected by the attacks included in the Trojan horses and the attacks included in malicious software and ransom software.

Return to Portugal, Spain and others

The last official word about today’s darkening (28) is as follows:

Spain Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, “No definite information. Causes are still examined. Speculation is better not to be better,” he said.
