“…From page 487 GCHQ-The Uncensored story of Britain’s most secret Intelligence Agency – Richard J Aldrich Harper Press 2010

“..a team from GCHQ were assisting with the investigation into blackouts of the national power grid that had struck Auckland in New Zealand.

They proved to be the result of electronic attacks on the country’s electricity distribution network, launched over the internet……

..The culprits were a group of hackers called the ” Anti Christ Doom Squad…………

…Once they gained access to the computers controlling New Zealand’s power supply, they focused on the distribution systems …

… picking a point where all five main power lines converged before coming into Auckland.

By changing the temperature with in the sensitive cables they quickly put them out of action.

Remarkably the whole attack was run from a laptop in a drug cafe in the back streets of Amsterdam.”

(whoar…!…eh…?…)

    UK’s Daily Mail, while in a feeding frenzy over the Mudered Spy story, did not check its sources. It assumed if it was published in another source, someone else MUST have checked it, and therefore it must be legit. They used the same quote that you’ve highlighted…
    The original source for this was “Thinking about the Unthinkable: Australian Vulnerabilities to High-Tech Risks”, a research paper by Dr Adam Cobb, Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Group, 29 June 1998. This story was FABRICATED for the Australian research paper as an illustration of what MIGHT be possible by hi-tech hackers, in the lead-up to the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The researcher even STATED it was a myth. If the Daily Mail had bothered to scroll the document down another few lines, they would have seen that admission clearly. Unfortunately, because of a lazy journalist, it’s now being circulated globally as fact…
    THIS – “ATTACK” – NEVER – HAPPENED!!! The massive power blackouts were caused by aging equipment failures and maintenance oversights (which were well-researched in the witchhunt that followed).
