Security News > 2022 > October > Indian Energy Company Tata Power's IT Infrastructure Hit By Cyber Attack
Tata Power Company Limited, India's largest integrated power company, on Friday confirmed it was targeted by a cyberattack.
The intrusion on IT infrastructure impacted "Some of its IT systems," the company said in a filing with the National Stock Exchange of India.
The Mumbai-based electric utility company, part of the Tata Group conglomerate, did not disclose any further details about the nature of the attack, or when it took place.
That said, cybersecurity firm Recorded Future in April disclosed attacks mounted by China-linked adversaries targeting Indian power grid organizations.
The attacks were attributed to an emerging threat cluster Recorded Future is tracking under the name Threat Activity Group 38.
The company further assessed that the targeting is intended to facilitate information gathering related to critical infrastructure assets or is likely a precursor for future activities.
