Yet another hack.... anyone post this yet?
"Hackers managed to invade the safety system of an infrastructure facility in what analysts are calling a “watershed” cyberattack that stopped plant operations, according to investigators.
Reuters reports that FireEye disclosed the incident on Thursday, saying that the hackers—likely working for a nation-state—targeted Triconex industrial safety technology from Schneider Electric SE.
Schneider confirmed the incident and said it had issued a security alert to customers of the technology, which is used in the energy industry at nuclear facilities, and oil and gas plants.
Neither company identified the specific victim, industry or location of the attack. Two cyber security firms speculated that the victim was either in Saudi Arabia or generally in the Middle East."
