Cyber-terrorism and utilities

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Electric Utilities and Y2K : One Thread

I read a story today that the U.S. military,specifically Kelley Air Force base, has had many incidents of cyber terrorism. The artice stated that these attacks are coming from Canada, Netherlands, and Thailand I think. The article also said that it is possible for cyber terrorism, among other things, to bring down a utility company. My question therefore is, can a utility company be infiltrated by some type of cyber terrorism that would cause it to crash?
