A story in the Washington Post last Friday, entitled, "Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont, U.S. officials say," was incorrect. Based on the Vermont reports, the government initiated a large-scale effort to find code that was supposedly placed on the Vermont utility site, in companies across 16 industry sectors. The Post issued a revision this morning reporting that an investigation into suspicious activity on a laptop owned by Vermont utility Burlington Electric indicates that there is no connection to any Russian attempt to infiltrate the utility's network. A Burlington Electric employee triggered an alert while checking email last week; the alert indicated that the computer had connected to a suspicious IP address. A toolkit called Neutrino found on the computer is not connected to malicious Russian activity.
