Humans Remain Top Cybersecurity Threat to Energy

Energy systems have long been vulnerable to cyberattacks, even before AI-driven hacking fears dominated headlines. Experts warn the risk is growing, with human error and negligence remaining the primary threat vector. Cybersecurity specialist Joshua Corman describes the situation bluntly, suggesting energy infrastructure has survived largely at the mercy of attackers rather than through robust defenses. The focus on rogue AI may be distracting from more immediate, human-driven dangers already threatening critical systems.
