A power plant employee adjusts the wiring of a power unit in North Texas. The Texas energy sector has been increasingly probed for weaknesses by computer hackers from Russia, according to a cybersecurity expert whose company has monitored cyber threats in Texas.
President Joe Biden last week warned that the White House has “evolving intelligence that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyberattacks” — the administration’s starkest warning yet. “Texas has some key export facilities for liquid natural gas — at a national security level, there are a couple sites that we all freak out about,” Lee said. “If you took down one site, you don't get fuel exports out to certain countries.”
Last week the U.S. Justice Department unsealed two indictments charging four Russians who worked for the Russian government with an ongoing campaign of infiltrating the computers of energy companies in 135 countries between 2012 and 2018.
