- In the spotlight this week are nine threat groups actively targeting industrial control systems (ICS) in the energy sector, particularly oil and gas entities. One new group is performing supply-chain attacks against telecommunications networks, likely to transition on to the networks of the targeted oil and gas organizations: a relatively rare tactic against the energy sector that will likely be emulated by other threat groups.
- Weekly highlights focus on: the Russia-associated “APT28” threat group targeting Internet of Things (IOT) devices to access corporate networks, ten new information-stealing trojans targeting financial services in Latin America, and wiper malware masquerading as ransomware in attacks on German organizations.
