IoT news of the week for May

Dragos, which provides security for industrial and operational technology, reported a cybersecurity event this week in which a known cybergang attempted to breach its internal network and its cybersecurity platform. They didn’t make it. But the attackers did breach the company’s SharePoint servers and contract management platform.

They were trying to get into Dragos’ network in order to encrypt its devices and presumably hold them for ransom. This is not great, but it’s better than some nation-state actor trying to infiltrate Dragos as a precursor to industrial sabotage.

The hackers got access to personal information from a salesperson who had recently been hired but hadn’t yet started, then used that information to impersonate the salesperson through an employee onboarding process.

I get exhausted just trying to think about securing information and devices in today’s world.
