Flaws are left open for weeks or longer even when fixes exist, security experts admit, leaving organisations at risk.
A hacking group described at the ‘most dangerous threat’ to industrial systems has taken a close interest in power grids in the US and elsewhere, according to a security company.
The hacking group believed to be behind the attack on the industrial control systems (ICS) of a petrochemical plant in Saudi Arabia are now apparently probing more potential victims around the world including US power grids according to security company Dragos.
“The most dangerous threat to ICS has new targets in its sights,” Dragos said. “This expansion to a new vertical illustrates a trend that will likely continue for other ICS-targeting adversaries.”
