At the same time that my RSA Research colleagues were uncovering the Boleto fraud in Brazil reported this week, Symantec released a Security Response describing a 2013 cyber-attack on US energy infrastructure, dubbed “Dragonfly“. (Also researched by Kaspersky under the name “Energetic Bear”. F-Secure has been tracking one of the malware variants used, called Havex.) The attack used spear-phishing, water-holing and Remote Access Trojans to compromise a number of important organizations in the United States, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Turkey and Poland. These targets included energy grid operators and electricity generation firms, as well as oil and gas infrastructure and industrial control systems equipment manufacturers.
The Dragonfly attack is particularly important in helping everyone involved in the security of critical infrastructure understand the magnitude of the threat confronting us.
