The KrebsonSecurity blog– written by former Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs – details an FBI investigation of a series of hacks against a Puerto Rican utility's smart meters. Krebs writes:
"Citing confidential sources, the FBI said it believes former employees of the meter manufacturer and employees of the utility were altering the meters in exchange for cash and training others to do so.'These individuals are charging $300 to $1,000 to reprogram residential meters, and about $3,000 to reprogram commercial meters,' the alert states."
