I don’t feel getting this specific helped all that much, but I did find a couple of resources that were useful. I only got 14 results when I did a search using the above keywords and several of the results were not what I was looking for. Below I have listed the APA citation of the source I chose from the results.

Verton, D. (2002, January 7). Critical Infrastructure Systems Face threat of cyberattacks. Computerworld. Retrieved April 18, 2022, from https://www.computerworld.com/article/2586544/critical-infrastructure-systems-face-threat-of-cyberattacks.html

The article is a bit old but is still very relevant. It discusses past cyberattacks from as far back as the 1960s and makes a case for enhancing cybersecurity, especially in critical infrastructure.
