OT/ICS Engineering Workstations Face Barrage of Fresh Malware

A Forescout analysis warns that engineering workstations for OT/ICS are increasingly targeted by malware and botnets: researchers identified a Siemens-focused sample called "Chaya_003" and Ramnit infections on Mitsubishi workstations, and the report cites Aisuru, Kaiten, and Gafgyt botnets as examples. The brief stresses that Internet-connected engineering stations are high-value attack vectors, recommends network segmentation, protection of engineering workstations, and continuous threat monitoring to mitigate risk.
