Cyber attack powerlessness in the energy industry?

16 Apr 2019  |  blog.f-secure.com
Cyber attacks against Critical National Infrastructure organizations, such as those in the energy industry, have been on the rise, with various adversaries including criminal profiteers and nation-states. Sophisticated tools have become more accessible after data breaches like Shadow Brokers and Vault7. Notable ransomware campaigns include CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, TeslaCrypt, and LockerGoga, which affected Norsk Hydro but not its renewable energy arm. APT groups continue to target CNI networks for espionage and political leverage, with nine significant threats identified, including Operation Sharpshooter and malware like BlackEnergy and TRITON/TRISIS. Employees are often the weakest link, with phishing emails being a common attack vector. Despite the challenges, organizations have counter-measures available, such as the VUCA framework and technologies like endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. F-Secure's Sami Ruohonen advises energy sector companies to review their cybersecurity standards and implement the latest technologies to detect and respond to advanced threats.

Norsk Hydro: LockerGoga encrypts everything, F-Secure researchers say

20 Mar 2019  |  blog.f-secure.com
Norsk Hydro, a Norwegian aluminum producer, experienced a significant cyber attack affecting its IT systems and operations. The attack was attributed to the ransomware LockerGoga, which encrypts files and disrupts network connections. The incident prompted an investigation by IT staff, Norway’s National Security Authority, military intelligence, and external cybersecurity partners. The attack highlights the vulnerabilities in the manufacturing sector, particularly the challenges of integrating legacy systems with modern cybersecurity measures. Expert Tom Van de Wiele from F-Secure emphasized the potential for both opportunistic and targeted attacks, including the possibility of state-affiliated actors.
