Pg&e Offers $250k Reward In California Grid Attack

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pacific Gas & Electric Co. offered a $250,000 reward Thursday for information leading to an arrest and conviction in a startling attack mounted nearly a year ago on telephone lines and the power grid in Silicon Valley. On Thursday, Wellinghoff's successor and FERC's acting chairwoman Cheryl LaFleur testified before Congress about a report blasting officials for improperly allowing widespread access to a sensitive document the commission created in response to the attack on the PG&E substation. The document outlined specific locations where the nation's electric grid is vulnerable to physical threats, and should have been kept secret as a national security matter, Energy Department Inspector General Gregory Friedman said Wednesday. PG&E has said it plans to spend more than $100 million on security measures, including installing opaque walls and deploying advanced camera systems, enhanced lighting and additional alarms at the San Jose substation and an unspecified number of other critical sites.
