I think it’s been well known that an attack on the US electric grid that damaged substations was a big risk as the large transformers have a long lead time and there is only a limited number of spares available.

I also don’t expect a 24 year old payment processor for a utility company to have perfect access to information about the operations and capex side of the business so take with appropriate salt grains.

Bottom line is yes we should worry about securing the national infrastructure but not because of this Reddit post.
