Why I’m withholding certainty that “precise” US cyber-op disrupted Venezuelan electricity
摘要
《纽约时报》披露，据称美国网络行动在委内瑞拉总统马杜罗被捕前导致首都加拉加斯等地停电。报道称，此次行动使首都大部分地区短暂断电，靠近军事基地的部分区域停电长达三天，并干扰了委军方雷达防御系统，以协助美军直升机秘密进入执行抓捕任务。美网络司令部被指参与其中。
The New York Times has published new details about a purported cyberattack that unnamed US officials claim plunged parts of Venezuela into darkness in the lead-up to the capture of the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro.
Key among the new details is that the cyber operation was able to turn off electricity for most residents in the capital city of Caracas for only a few minutes, though in some neighborhoods close to the military base where Maduro was seized, the outage lasted for three days. The cyber-op also targeted Venezuelan military radar defenses. The paper said the US Cyber Command was involved.
Got more details?
“Turning off the power in Caracas and interfering with radar allowed US military helicopters to move into the country undetected on their mission to capture Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president who has now been brought to the United States to face drug charges,” the NYT reported.
