It is very difficult.
Notice the story claims the hackers got into the system. But they were not able to shut down the power and cause an outage anywhere in the U.S.A.
If there was such an example, the article would have cited it.
I won’t say it could not happen. But power companies are well aware of this threat. President Trump’s administration has made it a priority to harden the U.S. power grid.
There are always “Experts” on both sides of an argument and usually all their expertise amounts to is flatulence.
