A cybersecurity firm says it uncovered the methods and tools hackers use to target critical infrastructure organizations, activity it observed by creating a website that masqueraded as a major electricity provider.
Cybereason on Monday released a report on its “Honeypot Project,” which is designed so that the firm’s researchers could learn more about the tactics and techniques hackers employ while trying to compromise control systems.
