Manufacturing, electricity, and oil and gas organizations around the world are experiencing a digital transformation that is leading to increasingly interconnected IT and OT environments.

Some organizations are looking to leverage new technology, such as cloud and 5G network, to accelerate this transformation. On the other hand, incorporating new technologies into their systems expands attack surface and leads to new risks.

As cyberattacks continue to evolve, ensuring cybersecurity defenses are resilient is paramount to keeping critical operations safe from delays and damages.

As oil and gas operations were disrupted significantly by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, it became evident that greater digitalization was vital to ensure the maintenance of operations when worker access is limited. With innovative solutions popping up from start-ups around the world and greater interest from oil majors, it is only a matter of time until we see greater digitalization across the oil and gas industry.

During the pandemic, governments introduced several rounds of varied restrictions on the movement of people and limitations on access to the workplace.

Donot Team (also known as APT-C-35 and SectorE02) is a threat actor operating since at least 2016 and known for targeting organizations and individuals in South Asia with Windows and Android malware. A recent report by Amnesty International links the group’s malware to an Indian cybersecurity company that may be selling the spyware or offering a hackers-for-hire service to governments of the region.

We have been closely following the activities of Donot Team, and have traced several campaigns that leverage Windows malware derived from the group’s signature yty malware framework.

The pandemic may finally be receding, but remote working is very much here to stay. The model that appears to be gaining most traction is a hybrid one, where most staff are allowed to spend some time working from home (WFH), but will also be required to come to the office for at least part of the week. It’s intended as a “best of both worlds” solution for staff and employers. But as we’ve seen over the past 12 months or more, mass remote working has also created the perfect conditions for threat actors to thrive.

The improvement of 5G technology and the increase in use of both mobile and IoT devices brings with itself a problem of cyber security that grows ever more serious. As tenancy diversity rises, a greater number of services demand cyber security and thus the precautions get more convoluted.

Cyber attacks that can occur in national or international levels compel governments to be prepared against such aggression, in order to properly defend societies and economies. Nowadays, it is deemed to be a part of national security, that countries develop domestic cyber security software and ecosystems.
