Iranian-affiliated actors are exploiting vulnerabilities in publicly exposed programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to disable safety alarms while maintaining operational continuity, creating a stealthy threat to critical infrastructure like water and energy grids. This campaign demonstrates how attackers modify control logic and manipulate operator interfaces to bypass human oversight without triggering immediate alerts, posing significant risks of physical disruption and financial loss.
Iranian Hackers Are Disabling Industrial Safety Alarms and Hiding It From Operators
Iranian-affiliated hackers are targeting internet-connected industrial controllers used across critical infrastructure in the United States. Their activity can disrupt essential processes in water, energy, and government environments, where even a small change to control logic can create serious real-world consequences. The attackers are gaining access to publicly exposed programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, then interacting […] The post Iranian Hackers Are Disabling Industrial Safety Alarms and Hiding It From Operators appeared first on Cyber Security News.
Iranian-affiliated hackers are targeting internet-connected industrial controllers used across critical infrastructure in the United States. Their activity can disrupt essential processes in water, energy, and government environments, where even a small change to control logic can create serious real-world consequences. The attackers are gaining access to publicly exposed programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, then interacting with the project files that run them. They have also altered information shown on…
