Which risk increases when a SCADA system in a remote energy grid experiences a denial-of-service attack?

💡 Explanation

When a SCADA system is compromised, communication outages occur because the system no longer centrally controls or monitors remote assets, leading to unsynchronized operations downstream. Therefore a cascading failure is more probable, rather than specific mechanical, load estimation, or generation failures which require different operational faults.
