The targeting is focused on engineering and industrial\r\ncontrol companies and has involved the harvesting of NTLM credentials via Server Message Block (SMB) using\r\nstrategic web compromises and spear-phishing.\r\nThis advisory highlights the sustained risk to UK companies involved in these sectors as well as providing further\r\ndetails on the activity and guidance for any organisations affected. Further information on this activity was\r\npublished on 15 March by the US Department of Homeland Security.\r\nDownload the advisory (below).\r\nDownloads\r\nShare and print this article\r\nPublished\r\nPublish date\r\n4 April 2018\r\nWritten for\r\nWritten for\r\nAlso see\r\nSource: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/alerts/hostile-state-actors-compromising-uk-organisations-focus-engineering-and-industrial-control\r\nhttps://www.ncsc.gov.uk/alerts/hostile-state-actors-compromising-uk-organisations-focus-engineering-and-industrial-control\r\nPage 1 of 1",
