“Mysterious” Explosions and Fires at Russian Industrial Websites

Welcome again, my cyberwarrior heroes!

As I discussed in my second interview with David Bombal, the second spherical of the Ukraine/Russia Cyberwar will contain SCADA/ICS hacking. Just lately, Russia as soon as once more tried to hack Ukraine’s electrical grid (it efficiently turned out the lights in Ukraine in 2014 and 2015) however was stymied by a stiff cyber protection. On the similar time, “mysterious” fires and explosions are going down throughout Russia, many removed from Ukrainian border. For me, these fires and explosions will not be a thriller. In cyberwar, industrial crops might be each a goal and a weapon.

Here’s a map of those industrial fires and explosions.

As well as, here’s a transient sampling of documentation of a few of these fires and explosions at industrial websites
