The number of threat groups observed targeting organizations with industrial control system (ICS) or other operational technology (OT) environments has increased significantly over the past years. In February, Dragos said it had been tracking 18 such groups, including ones that have actually breached ICS/OT networks.
In a report published on Tuesday, Dragos said ten of the threat groups tracked by the company have conducted operations aimed at European entities, including disruptive and destructive attacks. These groups are tracked as Xenotime, Magnallium, Electrum, Allanite, Chrysene, Kamacite, Covellite, Vanadinite, Parisite, and Dymalloy. Some of these groups have been linked to China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.
