The president of the Andalusian regional government, Juan Manuel Moreno, has confirmed that, according to the information provided to him by the regional cybersecurity center, “everything points to a blackout of this magnitude only being due to a cyberattack”.
Moreno, however, confirmed that he had not received any communication from the Spanish government regarding the widespread power outage and that he reached this conclusion “solely based on our own data.”
He has also expressed concern about the duration of the blackout: “We’ll see how long this will last because the generators only have a 24-hour capacity.”
