Researchers say new attack could take down the European power grid
Power grid in Central Europe uses unencrypted radio signals to add and shed loads.

I imagine the German response here is to be annoyed that they've worked very hard to be able to do this without telefax, indeed without paper at all, and it's still not considered good enough by the peanut gallery.
Very serious vulnerability. These systems likely haven't been revised since the 80s or 90s.
I had seen the original talk and was shocked how little regulators seem to care. Especially in the post-stuxnet world, with a second cold war being in full swing.
