Hackers linked to Iran have been trying to crack the US grid for ages, a report says
The news: A hacking group called Magnallium, which is sponsored by Iran's government, has been trying to get access to American electric utilities for at least a year, according to newly-released analysis by security firm Dragos. The hackers have been trying to guess passwords for hundreds of accounts linked to US electric utilities, plus oil and gas firms, a technique known as "password-spraying." It chimes with findings from Microsoft, which revealed it had seen a similar campaign in November.
