Analyzing the Russian Vulkan Files Leak for Impacts to ICS/OT Operations
Summary: Dragos reviewed alleged contracts between Russian company NTC Vulkan and the Russian Ministry of Defense, later highlighted in a Washington Post article and now called the Vulkan files, which describe measures to monitor and manipulate internet communications and signals and, where possible, conduct cyber offensive attacks on critical industrial infrastructure. Dragos published a public intelligence brief analyzing the cyber programs revealed in the leak and their potential impacts on ICS/OT environments, with complete reporting reserved for Dragos WorldView customers.
What's compelling: The contracts describe offensive work aimed at critical industrial infrastructure, and Dragos notes that many OT asset owners learn of emerging ICS threats only after the fact, leaving defenders unsure how to respond to breaking news.
