The full story of the Triton attack



Blake Sobczak of E&E News conducted a great investigation of the Triton malware attack and published it last week. The publication is normally behind a paywall, but Blake gave me a link to a public copy. This is very good reading, partly because it’s a wonderful piece of reporting, but also because this is such a significant attack against industrial control systems. As Robert M. Lee of Dragos has been saying for a while (and as I heard him say again last Friday at RSA), this is the first attack on ICS that was designed to kill people – perhaps quite a lot of them.

And by the way, guess which nation-state was most likely behind this attack? Just look at my last post. What a surprise!
