On February 28, Recorded Future, a Massachusetts-based company that studies how state actors use the internet, put out a report that the massive power outage in Mumbai on October 12 may have been the handiwork of a Chinese cyberwarfare campaign against India, meant to signal to New Delhi what China could do at a time when the Indian army was locked in a border standoff with the Chinese army.
No one, including Recorded Future, is fully sure whether the power outage was indeed the result of a Chinese cyberattack, but Chinese malware has been found inserted in systems related to the power grid, especially targeting four of the national power grid’s five Regional Load Dispatch Centres (RLDC).

New Delhi:
Union Power Minister RK Singh on Tuesday said that the Mumbai power outage last October was caused by human error and there is no evidence to prove that it was triggered due to a cyberattack by China.
Speaking to ANI, Mr Singh said, Two teams investigated the power outage and reported that the outage was caused by human error and not due to cyberattack. One of the teams submitted that cyberattacks did happen but they were not linked to the Mumbai grid failure, The cyberattacks happened on our northern and southern region load dispatch centres. However, the malware could not reach our operating system. Maharashtra Home Minister has informed that cyberattacks happened on their Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system in Mumbai, the minister added.
