1. Ransomhub Attacking Industrial Control Systems To Encrypt And Exfiltrate Data
Ransomhub, a new ransomware group, has targeted the SCADA system of a Spanish bioenergy plant, Matadero de Gijón, which highlights the critical security risks associated with Industrial Control Systems (ICS) across various industries.
Since 2022, numerous cyberattacks have exploited vulnerabilities in ICS, causing significant disruptions to operations and infrastructure. This highlights the need for robust security measures to safeguard ICS environments.
The Ransomhub ransomware group claimed unauthorized access to Gijón’s BioEnergy Plant’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, which is critical for industrial process control.
The group provided screenshots as evidence, showcasing their ability to manipulate the plant’s Digester and Heating system controls.
While the exact size of the data breach remains unclear (varying between 15 GB and 400 GB), the compromised SCADA system poses a significant risk to the plant’s operations.
Ransomhub, a RaaS operation first advertised in February 2024, utilizes Golang and C++ for its locker component and leverages asymmetric cryptography(x25519) and a combination of symmetric algorithms (aes256, chacha20, and xchacha20) to encrypt victim data while achieving faster encryption speeds.
