A total of 15 threat groups have been observed targeting industrial organizations, according to industrial cybersecurity firm Dragos.
Dragos on Wednesday released its ICS Cybersecurity Year in Review report for 2020, which covers the industrial control systems threat landscape and vulnerabilities disclosed last year.
Dragos said it added four new groups to the list in 2020.
The company told SecurityWeek that the newly added groups "Have the potential to disrupt control systems, but have not been seen exclusively targeting control systems."
One of the new groups is tracked by Dragos as STIBNITE and it has been observed targeting electric energy companies - specifically wind turbines - in Azerbaijan.
Another new group is tracked by Dragos as VANADINITE, which has been observed targeting the energy, manufacturing and transportation sectors in North America, Asia, Europe and Australia.
