Trend Micro is reporting that Russian hackers likely attempted to use BlackEnergy malware to attack a mining operation and railway, in addition to taking down two power plants in the Ukraine in December.
Trend Micro Senior Threat Researcher Kyle Wilhoit reached this conclusion after he and a co-worker found samples of BlackEnergy and KillDisk, a disk-wiping malware, within the systems of the mining company and railway. These were similar to samples found in the Ukrainian power plants that were knocked offline plunging more than 1 million Ukrainians into the dark.
