Hackers Cyber Av3ngers gained access to the automated process control system of the station.
The hacker group CyberAv3ngers has announced the hacking of a sewage treatment plant in the city of Netanya, Israel. In their Telegram channel, the hackers posted screenshots showing that they had gained access to the plant's control and monitoring systems. They also threatened to disrupt water treatment facilities if the Israeli Government did not stop supporting the “occupation of Palestine.”
The CyberAv3ngers group is known for its hacker attacks on various critical infrastructure objects in the past. However, this time their target was a wastewater treatment plant in the city of Netanya. The plant uses pond wastewater stabilization technology and processes about 14 million cubic meters of wastewater per year.
The Netanya wastewater treatment plant plays an important role in maintaining the ecological safety of the region, ensuring that wastewater is treated from contamination before being returned to natural reservoirs.
There is no official Israeli confirmation of the hacking of the Netanya wastewater treatment plant. It is not known what consequences hackers actions may have for public safety and health. CNN, the head of Israel's National Cyber Directorate, Yigal Unna, said they know who is attacking them and know how to retaliate. He also added that Israel has a strong cyber defense and can prevent or minimize damage from cyber attacks.
According to experts, the number of vulnerabilities in industrial control systems (ICS) increased by 41% in the six months of August 2022. Of these, 61% were remotely operated, and 66% did not require any user interaction to operate. In addition, almost three-quarters of the vulnerabilities (74%) did not require specific privileges. This indicates a high risk of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, which can have serious consequences for the environment and society.
