US Hackers Allegedly Caused Blackout In Venezuela
US Hackers Allegedly Caused Blackout in Venezuela In a shocking revelation, the US government has been reportedly involved in a cyberattack that caused a blackout in Venezuela. According to unnamed US officials cited by The New York Times, the cyberattack was carried out as part of a surprise military operation that led to the seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
The operation, dubbed “Operation Absolute Resolve” by the US government, involved US forces using hacking capabilities to disable Venezuelan air defense radar ahead of the incursion. The cyberattack on Venezuela’s power grid resulted in a blackout, marking the first time the US government has been publicly reported to have carried out such a hacking operation.
This development raises significant concerns about the increasing use of cyber warfare tactics by nation-states. Until now, only Russia has been confirmed to have hacked another nation’s power grid to cause a blackout. The incident highlights the growing importance of cybersecurity and the need for nations to develop robust defenses against cyber threats.
As the use of cyber warfare continues to evolve, it is essential for governments and organizations to prioritize cybersecurity and develop strategies to prevent and respond to cyberattacks. Note: This article is based on a report by WIRED, which first published the information.
