SecurityWeek reports that Dragos has published an interesting case study about an attack by the Chinese threat actors known as Volt Typhoon on the electric grid.

The utility had been in the process of implementing Dragos operational technology (OT) security solutions when the intrusion was detected, which led to an expedited deployment.
Dragos said the LELWD breach was discovered in November 2023, just before Thanksgiving, and an investigation showed that the hackers had been in the organization’s network since February 2023, for more than 300 days.
