Abstract
In 2007, CNN broadcast a demonstration of an “Aurora” cyber-physical attack of a 2.25 MW generator connected to a substation. This test was conducted at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for the Department of Homeland Security. INL staff injected a virus consisting of 20 lines of code that caused an out-of-phase condition that can damage alternating current (AC) equipment connected to the power grid.
