The US government warned this week that Iran-linked hackers have targeted critical infrastructure organizations, hacking industrial control systems (ICS) and other operational technology (OT).
According to an advisory written by CISA, the FBI, and several other agencies, hackers have targeted programmable logic controllers (PLCs) made by Rockwell Automation, but devices from other vendors are also at risk. Both Rockwell and Siemens have published advisories to alert customers.
The attacks caused operational disruption and financial loss through tampering with vulnerable human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
