People are so wanting to believe there was an advanced cyber attack to Venezuela’s grid and ISPs that they forget this is a country that hasn’t updated its infrastructure in more than two decades while also not providing any significant maintenance. Most of the “new” technology deployed at the state and federal level comes from corrupt foreign and domestic “suitcase” companies that charged a lot of money to deliver poorly designed systems often even lacking the as-sold equipment. So Venezuela isn’t precisely the most formidable adversary when it comes to cybersecurity.
