U.S. Probes Data Breach of 850,000 Files

The Kansas-based company "Micro-COM" was targeted in a cyberattack, during which the "Barracuda" group stole approximately 850,000 files totaling nearly 644 gigabytes, according to an August announcement by the group. The company specializes in manufacturing programmable logic controllers used to manage water systems and wastewater treatment. The attack occurred amid a wave of multiple assaults targeting programmable controllers in several U.S. states, and is believed to be part of a long-term campaign linked to Iran aimed at critical infrastructure. Although the stolen files did not contain sensitive information or credentials, the attack highlights the increasing cyber threats facing the U.S. water infrastructure and occurs in the context of escalating attacks on industrial control systems utilizing advanced technologies like artificial intelligence.
