F-Secure has discovered another series of attacks against industrial control systems. Researchers suspect they are simply gathering intelligence in preparation for a more serious attack. Attackers are infecting SCADA and ICS systems with the HAVEX remote access tool (mostly used for information gathering) The attackers’ ultimate motives are unclear. The organizations that have been infected with HAVEX are mostly European: two French universities known for tech research, one French producer of industrial machine products, two German producers of industrial application and machine products.”]
