Mining is Now a Cyber-threat Target
The mining industry, according to the report, is under threat from cyber attacks aimed at exploiting its strategic position in global supply chains. Tightly targeted and highly coordinated attacks emanate from a broad set of attacker groups that have learned how to leverage the significant role that mining commodities play in regional and global supply chains and for national economies, and know how to exploit the vulnerabilities that mining companies are exposed to due to heavy reliance on integrated and automated systems. Trend Micros researchers noted that advanced persistent threat (APT) campaigns such as BlackEnergy, for example -- a Trojan that is used to conduct denial-of-service attacks, cyber espionage and information destruction attacks- have been repurposed to cause physical impact by attacking and damaging industrial assets. BlackEnergy and another APT campaign, Sandworm, were the likely perpetrators behind outages at two power generation facilities in Ukraine in December 2015.
