SEC’s energy network on Saba has been wide open for cyber attacks. Negligence in the installation of the solar system allowed malicious parties to take over the entire electricity grid. Not much was needed for this: entering “0000” when the password was requested, was sufficient.

It is February 22, 2019, Saba is celebrating. The local electricity company SEC speaks of “a historic moment for both the Saba Electric Company and for the island of Saba”.

For the first time in the history of Saba, two days earlier, between 3 and 5 p.m., the power was supplied entirely by solar energy.
