February 26, 2008: Florida hit by power outage.

Lets' remind an article published by CNN on september 26, 2007, titled "Staged cyber attack reveals vulnerability in power grid". According to this article "Researchers who launched an experimental cyber attack caused a generator to self destruct ... sources familiar with the experiment said the same attack scenario could be used against huge generators that produce the country's electric power ... the experiment invloved controlled hacking into a replica of a power plant's control system".

The experiment made by the researchers demonstrated that the scenario of a cyber attack is plausible. Is the current power outage the result of such vulnerability?
