Thousands of people were left in the dark following the incidents, although it was unclear if they were linked.
A fire at an electrical substation left hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans in the dark on Thursday, shortly after the power company reported a cyberattack that it did not immediately link to the blaze. Luma Energy confirmed the fire at a facility in the capital, San Juan, two hours after saying it had been targeted by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that stopped customers from accessing their accounts. “The fire caused significant blackouts across the island,” the company said on Facebook.
