Electric utilities want Congress to cleanly reauthorize the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, which allows for greater information sharing between the power sector and federal government. The law lapsed October 1. utilitydive.com/news/as-cybe…

As cyber threats grow, utilities say lapsed information-sharing law stymies security

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 has expired, and utilities say the U.S. faces a “more complex and dangerous security environment” as a result.

“It is potentially a very catastrophic situation for this country if we don’t get this right.” (co-published with @WIRED) grist.org/technology/hackers…

Hackers already infiltrate EV chargers. It could only get worse.

Most intrusions have been innocuous, but a nefarious plot could bring down the grid. Experts have suggestions for improving the security of EV chargers.
