The security-woes dept. posted a message on Monday March 7, 2022.

In mid-February, hackers gained access to computers belonging to current and former employees at nearly two dozen major natural gas suppliers and exporters, including Chevron, Cheniere Energy and Kinder Morgan, according to research shared exclusively with Bloomberg News. From the report: The attacks targeted companies involved with the production of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, and they were the first stage in an effort to infiltrate an increasingly critical sector of the energy industry, according to Gene Yoo, chief executive officer of Los Angeles-based Resecurity, which discovered the operation. They occurred on the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, when energy markets were already roiled by tight supplies.

A group of hackers, including one linked to a wave of attacks against European organizations that Microsoft attributed to Strontium, were spotted by researchers at Resecurity last month. The dark web was being used to pay for access to personal computers belonging to workers at large natural gas companies in the U.S., which were used as a back door into company networks. The researchers found a vulnerability in the software that allowed them to get files from the machines and see what the attackers had already done.
