Poland's energy grid was targeted by never-before-seen wiper malware

If you're looking for what the damage was, it failed.

Potential damage: "Most notable was one [attack] in Ukraine in December 2015. It left roughly 230,000 people without electricity for about six hours during one of the coldest months of the year."

My first pass through the title was "Those windshield wipers shouldn't need to be internet-connected."

Thankfully, the article did clear that up, but the fact that my brain didn't even think, "that's a stupid idea that no one would buy that" is a bit depressing.

Curious to how these attacks work logistically. I assume these networks are air-gapped?

Hybrid war on Europe.

For what purpose? Cui bono?

With all the other crazy world-destroying us bullshit, is this also you? 50% you, 50% russia. It's an new gameshow, is it Russian or us?
