Attack Detection and Identification in Cyber-Physical Systems (2013, unknown): “We consider a load altering attack [18]”
BlackIoT: IoT Botnet of High Wattage Devices Can Disrupt the Power Grid (2018, background): “An important characteristic of MadIoT attacks is that unlike most of previous attacks on the power grid, they do not target the power grid’s Supervisory Control And Data Acquisitions (SCADA) system but rather the loads that are much less protected as in load-altering attacks studied in [11, 41].”
Detection of Faults and Attacks Including False Data Injection Attack in Smart Grid Using Kalman Filter (2014, methodology): “The work in [8] uses the data concatenation and random drop schemes to defend a traffic analysis attack, and the study in [9] is about defending the Internet-based load altering attack.”
