Canadian Cyber Centre Warns of Hacktivists Abusing Internet‑Accessible Industrial Control Systems
INCIDENT
Multiple incidents have been reported in Canada where internet‑accessible industrial control systems (ICS) have been manipulated by opportunistic actors (hacktivists). Attackers altered water pressure values at a water treatment facility, resulting in degraded service for the community. An Automated Tank Gauge (ATG) was manipulated at an oil and gas company, triggering false alarms. Temperature and humidity values were manipulated at a farm grain silo, potentially leading to unsafe conditions if not discovered in time.
