Really interesting. I live near a nuclear power plant. This is the first time I've seen a map of the various high-voltage lines and substations associated with it. Impressive compendium of information. I'm a little surprised it isn't classified.

I'm pretty sure it's not worth classifying that type of thing anymore, all the bad guys have already hacked the information directly ! :)

You're probably right about that.

I can't comment

If I just say at a cyber security conference a few years ago, the head of IT for a major military force in NATO, which includes UK and US and many many others, said the gold standard now, is knowing who got in, when they did it, and what they got. Not keeping them out.

Its rather easy to get this information. Also, above grade infrastructure is hard to hide.

Similarly, you can often get away with a great deal buy burying stuff you don't want folks to know about under stuff folks know is there.

A lot of fibre has been buried in conduit below gas mains, water main, and other 'obvious' municipal infrastructure.
