This statement by @nytimes is factually incorrect. The vast majority of Caracas residents didn't lose power on January 3rd, not even "for a few minutes". This can be verified through publicly available data, videos of the attack, and testimonies from people on the ground. 🧵
The U.S. cyberattack in Caracas, Venezuela, that turned off the power and interfered with its air defense radar demonstrated the Pentagon’s ability to use cyberweapons with powerful and precise effects, according to U.S. officials briefed on the operation.
