Energy Organizations Continue to be Compromised Globally
Summary: ENTSO-E, which represents 42 electric Transmission System Operators across 35 countries, confirmed on 09 March 2020 that an adversary compromised its office network, though the organization said that network is not connected to any operational TSO system. In January 2020, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission experienced an alleged ransomware attack that took its website and electronic filing system offline, with a spokesperson saying no sensitive or confidential data was compromised.
What you should know: Both victims are organizations that manage no industrial assets themselves but hold regulatory and technical records on the utilities they oversee - the NMPRC keeps technical information on power plants and utility operations networks - so a single intrusion there can expose information from several utilities at once and seed follow-on access, as ALLANITE did by exfiltrating HMI screenshots and SCADA diagrams through vendor and contractor links.
