Hackers cut Power

One of those small articles in the local paper:

"hackers literally turned out the lights in multiple cities after breaking into electrical utilities and demanding extortion payments before disrupting power, a senior CIA analyst told utility engineers at a trade conference...."

All the break-ins occured outside the U.S.

Guys, I tried to find a link to the entire story, but my search skills are limited.

Details given were very sketchy. Kind of scary stuff, though. Any overseas posters know anything about this?
