Last month, the US government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released two significant warnings. The first of these detailed how APT Cyber Tools were reported to be targeting ICS/SCADA Devices, while the second warned of a specific type of Malware – namely, Pipedream – aimed at Industrial Control Systems.

These kinds of ominous directives from CISA relate directly to a recent Whitepaper from Cerberus Sentinel regarding the Water Sector, and Tackling IT-Security Fundamentals. The water sector has long been a target for hackers hoping to take advantage of the rapid digital transformation it has undertaken, with the water supply of Oldsmar in Florida suffering an attempted compromise from a hacker last year. With specific malwares and APT groups’ being mentioned by Federal agencies as real, credible and potentially nation-state tied threats to ICS, including the water sector, the white paper could not be more timely.

The vulnerabilities stem from a similar design flaw identified in the TLStorm vulnerabilities (discovered earlier this year by Armis), expanding the reach of TLStorm to millions of additional enterprise-grade network infrastructure devices.
