Yesterday @DragosInc unveiled 'FrostyGoop' an ICS (Industrial Control System) malware suspected to be developed by Russia's infamous sandworm team.
FrostyGoop successfully shut off the electricity of 600 apartment buildings in the midst of sub-zero temperatures (sub -17C temperatures) in January, 2024. It took Ukrainian officials almost 2 days to restore electricity of individuals impacted by FrostyGoop.
Dragos successfully identified the payload April, 2024.
This is the 9th ICS specific malware in history. This sort of malware is exceptionally rare, exceptionally difficult to develop, exceptionally difficult to test, and exceptionally difficult to deploy.
We do not have any malware samples for this payload. If one of you have this malware sample and would be willing to donate it to us, please do.
