Substation Breaker Hijack: SCADA Attack & Manual Restoration Race

Simulate a coordinated SCADA breaker-hijack attack on a power grid ring: watch malware trip substation breakers one by one, a comms denial-of-service delay operator detection, and race to manually restore power before the whole ring goes dark.

Twelve substations sit in a ring around a control hub, each carrying a slice of a city's load. An intruder who has already pivoted into the SCADA network starts opening breakers one by one — modeled on the 2015 cyberattack on Ukraine's power grid, the first confirmed blackout caused deliberately by malware. A simultaneous denial-of-service against the utility's phones and alarms delays how fast the operator even learns a breaker has tripped, and once it's flagged, restoring it means dispatching a crew to close it by hand rather than trusting the compromised control panel. Tune the breach tempo, the detection delay, and the manual restoration time, then click tripped substations in the 3D scene to race the intruder and keep the ring's lights on.

⚙ Under the hood

Race a SCADA intruder tripping substation breakers around a power ring while a comms denial-of-service delays detection — click tripped nodes to dispatch crews and manually restore power before the whole ring goes dark.
