Russian hackers tried to break gas objects in the United States: how did it be avoided

Chernovite hacker group prepares new attacks on the United States, cybersecurity experts say. Closely related to the Russian government of the Hacker Group tried to block the US gas infrastructure in the first days of Russian attack on Ukraine, writes Politico. Robert M. Lee, who heads Dragos, was informed about this by the publication, which provides cybersecurity services to large corporations.

At attempts to break there is a hacker group Chernovite, named in honor of the mineral of the same name, found by the Soviet geologist Chernov. With the help of harmful software, the group hackers have actively tried not only gas but also energy facilities in the United States to collapse. Lee refused to tell the details of what prevented the attack from being successful, but said that she had stopped a government coalition in the US and cyber industry companies.

This is not the first attempt of Russian hackers to block the gas and energy systems of the states. The US government has announced that it has found a new malicious software called Pipedream, which can penetrate the IT network for the management of key industrial systems of America. This is about the huge challenges that the United States now face, although today all attempts to penetrate critical infrastructure by Russian cyber terrorists have been stopped.
