Burlington Electric, which serves 19,600 customers in Vermont, said it found malicious software on company laptop, and it's blaming the Russians.
Burlington Electric noted that the malicious software on a computer was not connected to its grid control systems.
Both the Department of Homeland Security and the utility said there are no indications that the electric grid was breached, reported CNN.
Burlington Electric General Manager Neale Lunderville told CNN that the utility found an Internet address that was associated with recent malicious cyber activity, and that IP address was communicating with a company computer.
