Attacks Against Electrical Grid in AR
I didn't see this posted and thought it should be shared. The tactics have gained some attention. These are two incidents reported, but there has been other activity related to this.
In the early morning hours of August 21st, the electric power grid was targeted in what appears to have been a deliberate, decidedly low-tech act of vandalism–with more dangerous implications for grid safety.

...the person or people who tried to bring down a massive transmission tower in central Arkansas knew where and when the grid was vulnerable.
The most recent attack:

The implication appears to be that the culprit not only knew where to find the equipment he needed to cause a power outage, but he also know how to use that equipment well enough to pull down two utility poles.
The way the poles were brought down indicates knowledge and training.
Now, this may sound like someone with inside knowledge, but also can indicate good pre-mission training. People that want to save the world.
