Welcome back, my cyberwarrior heroes!
As I mentioned in my second interview with David Bombal, the second round of the Ukraine/Russia Cyberwar will involve SCADA/ICS hacking. Recently, Russia once again attempted to hack Ukraine's electrical grid (it successfully turned out the lights in Ukraine in 2014 and 2015) but was stymied by a stiff cyber defense. At the same time, "mysterious" fires and explosions are taking place across Russia, many far from Ukrainian border. For me, these fires and explosions are not a mystery. In cyberwar, industrial plants can be both a target and a weapon.
Here is a map of these industrial fires and explosions.
In addition, here is a brief sampling of documentation of some of these fires and explosions at industrial sites
