If you read this alert, and all the others at CISA.gov, you will see this is particularly worrisome in the current world situation since it has been tested on a number of companies and they have reason to believe that others are being targeted.
The real significance is that if we end up at war with Russia, they have been running trails of their cyber warfare groups - attacking companies around the world, including the US. We are late to the game, but are ramping up our defense - part of CISA.
This was particularly interesting to me, since when I was working for APS (power company in AZ) I was a project manger in charge of the project to install redundant communications and controls for the companies sub-stations, which was mandated by Congress for all power companies following 9/11. We finished that project on time, but that was just one small part of the weakness. I know first hand how poorly prepared our power grid is to deal with a cyber attack.

It's sad that you actually think that's true...
