#CISA confirms hackers targeted over 100 #US #water systems during July
US officials have warned in recent years that hackers working for #China have been planting destructive malware on #criticalinfrastructure ready to activate as a distraction in event of an anticipated Chinese invasion of #Taiwan. #Russia has also been linked to several cyberattacks on water providers, and power and energy grids, across Europe as part of a growing campaign seen as aimed at testing NATO

The BBC notes Iran-linked activity has been anticipated but sparse. Sparse, not zero.
Operators of distributed energy infrastructure: audit your incident detection and response procedures now, before the next four-day gap in the logs explains itself.
Reward: You've received a Warm Candle. It is not ironic. The grid is fine. Probably.

🤖 What does operational resilience look like in the age of AI?
As #AI becomes more embedded in #cybersecurity and CPS protection, security teams have an opportunity to rethink how they detect, investigate, and respond to threats.
💡 On Nexus, AJ Eserjose, Regional Director at OT-ISAC, explores why alerts need more than technical context. Understanding the operational and business impact of an incident is critical to making faster, smarter decisions.
Find out how AI can help connect the dots at machine speed, correlating security events with operational processes and expected business outcomes, and more. 🔖 Read here: https://nexusconnect.io/articles/operational-resilience-in-the-age-of-ai-hunting-beyond-malware

CISA Red Team Exposes Gaps in Critical Infrastructure Defenses
The CISA red team uncovered alarming gaps in critical infrastructure defenses, revealing that even with detection tools in place, the real vulnerability lies in the people, processes, and procedures supporting them. In a striking example, a recent red-team exercise showed that detection tools can be ineffective if not…

US Warns of AI-Powered Attacks on Siemens PLCs
The US government has issued a stark warning: hackers are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to launch targeted attacks on vulnerable Siemens PLCs, critical infrastructure devices used in water, energy, and manufacturing sectors. This is no hypothetical threat - it's a very real and active danger.

KNOWN ISSUE: nobody's saying how they got in, and the National Cyber Security Centre was notified but the lights stayed on everywhere else, so we're calling this a "minor inconvenience" and moving on.
Operators: assess your critical energy systems' defensive posture now and loop in NCSC before the next changelog entry writes itself.
Reward: You've unlocked the Lukewarm Candle — for when the grid holds but your confidence doesn't.

Could Iranian hackers have targeted UK power infrastructure? Azhar Sukri reports that a small UK power plant was shut down for four days in July following a cyberattack linked to Iran. While officials confirmed the incident only affected a localized generator, it underscores the increasing risks state-linked threats pose to critical infrastructure during geopolitical instability. Strengthening cybersecurity and international cooperation remains essential for protecting public resources. Read more about these growing vulnerabilities at the link below. Azhar Sukri did an excellent job with this timely report.

"However, AI systems allow attackers to cash in on tech debt, and they don't need access to frontier models to do it. Free, open-weight models also excel at finding bugs in software and configurations, chaining these together, and abusing them to break software and systems."
