A Happy Ending to the Latest ICS Hack

Security Breach

The continued evolution of the CyberAv3ngers hacking group and its IIoT-focused malware.
We talk a lot about change on Security Breach. Some of it’s good and obviously some of it makes us want to tear our hair out. Well, this episode, surprisingly, should go easy on the scalp, even though it will focus on the IOCONTROL malware strand recently detected by Noam Moshe and Claroty’s Team82.

The malware is described as a custom-built IoT/OT strand created by the Iran-based hacktivist group, the CyberAv3ngers. The malware targeted OT/IoT devices in Israel and the U.S. Moshe’s team detected the malware being used to attack IoT and SCADA/OT devices of various types including IP cameras, routers, PLCs, HMIs and firewalls.

Typically, this is the part of the story that takes us down a dark and frustrating road, but as you’ll hear, that’s not necessarily the case this time.

Also, just a bit of housekeeping – we’re switching the frequency of Security Breach from weekly to bi-weekly. This change will allow me to spend more time on each episode, which will translate to greater depth and expanded coverage on all the pressing topics of industrial cybersecurity.

And remember, this is your podcast – let me know your thoughts and feelings on the change and anything else you’d like to see on the show.
