About this listen
In 2019, a nationwide blackout left Venezuela in darkness for seven days. Officials blamed cyberattacks. But deep inside the Guri hydroelectric plant, motion sensors detected someone in a control room sealed since 1998. No ID. No entry logs. Just a folder listing 47 substations — each marked "OFFLINE." Hours later, they were.
One photo survived.
And the badge on his chest belonged to a company that no longer exists.
