While stories of nation-state backed hackers threatening the U.S. power sector garner regular headlines, a new experiment highlights the risk of unintended consequences when less-skilled adversaries target the sector. Researchers from Cybereason, a Boston-based company, set up a honeypot in mid-July that mimicked a utility substation’s network environment, drawing the attention of a determined attacker that repeatedly disabled the honeypot’s security system. The hacker’s attempts to be conspicuous, coupled with some sloppy work, told researchers that they were not part of any advanced persistent threat (APT) group that is linked with a nation-state. “It’s not script kiddies, but I’m not convinced that it’s APT either,” said Ross Rustici, senior director of intelligence at Cybereason. “[That] is a red flag for me because they’re very focused, but they’re making mistakes.” While the spotlight has been on nation-state threats to the energy grid, Rustici told CyberScoop, “one of the more concerning and […]
