"Ukraine Blackouts Caused by Malware Attacks Warn Against Evolving Cybersecurity Threats to the Physical World"
A new paper led by UC Santa Cruz researchers explores two pieces of malware that attempted to cause blackouts in Ukraine. The paper presents the first study of how the "Industroyer One" and "Industroyer Two" malware attacks operated and interacted with physical power system equipment. The Five Eyes intelligence alliance, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US, attributed both attacks to Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU. This article continues to discuss the study of the Industroyer attacks.
