Trend Micro just published the results of a six-month honeypot imitating an industrial factory. The highly sophisticated Operational Technology (OT) honeypot attracted fraud and financially motivated exploits. The six-month investigation revealed that unsecured industrial environments are primarily victims of common threats. The honeypot was compromised for cryptocurrency mining, targeted by two separate ransomware attacks, and […]

As more operational technology (OT) devices and industrial control systems (ICSs) are connected to information technology (IT) systems over the Internet, the attack surface expands to billions of insecure devices, many of which cannot be patched. That in turn creates a massive population of new attack vectors against physical infrastructure – from power and water […]
