New Hexane Group Targets Oil and Gas, Telco Providers

Hexane has been active since at least the middle of 2018 and ramped up actions at the beginning of 2019. The actor targets companies in the Middle East, with Kuwait being a primary operating region. Hexane’s intent is to infiltrate the supply chain of potential targets. The most active period of the group coincides with the escalation of tensions in Middle East due to political and military turmoil. The group has not yet developed capabilities for taking down ICS networks, researchers say. At the moment, the company tracks activity of nine adversaries interested in industrial control systems.
