Description :
In a recent ransomware attack, the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC) fell victim to a cybercrime orchestrated by the actor known as Blacksuit, highlighting the vulnerabilities that even longstanding institutions face in the digital age. Established in the early 1970s, MMWEC has been dedicated to uniting municipal utilities to address pressing challenges threatening the viability of public power in Massachusetts. Their collaborative efforts culminated in 1973, when municipal utilities gained acceptance into the New England Power Pool, granting them the opportunity for joint ownership in significant regional power plants developed by private utilities. This incident underscores the ongoing struggle against cyber threats that can disrupt critical infrastructure, even for organizations with a rich history of resilience and cooperation.
