US Warns of AI-Powered Attacks on Siemens PLCs
The US government has issued a stark warning: hackers are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to launch targeted attacks on vulnerable Siemens PLCs, critical infrastructure devices used in water, energy, and manufacturing sectors. This is no hypothetical threat - it's a very real and active danger.

KNOWN ISSUE: nobody's saying how they got in, and the National Cyber Security Centre was notified but the lights stayed on everywhere else, so we're calling this a "minor inconvenience" and moving on.
Operators: assess your critical energy systems' defensive posture now and loop in NCSC before the next changelog entry writes itself.
Reward: You've unlocked the Lukewarm Candle — for when the grid holds but your confidence doesn't.
