Utah power utility experiences a Loss of View due to DDoS Attack

Attack on Utah power utility cause a loss of view of remote power station from the main control center.
A DDoS attack was carried out on an unpatched internet facing server on the utilities network that caused a crash leading the company to be unable to monitor the remote station. No further breach occurred but this would be the first step in a full fledged attack on a power utility and could be viewed as a proof of concept attack. This shows how crucial it is for a continuous vulnerability scanning program and patching program to be in place.
