CERT-FR, the French government's computer emergency response team, said in an alert published in French on October 12 that it is aware of numerous compromises affecting two Danfoss controller series, the AK-SM and the AK-SC.
Neither French authorities nor Danfoss has so far said who carried out the attack or how the attackers got into the controllers.
Controller Status, According to Danfoss Advice From CERT-FR and Danfoss AK-SM 800 End of life since May 2021.
Danfoss told Cooling Post it was working with customers on "firmware updates where available, stronger network protections and removing direct internet exposure where applicable."
The Inquiry and Reports From Other Countries The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an inquiry on its own initiative, it told AFP.

The Zero Trust cybersecurity paradigm gained huge momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic with the rise of remote working.
This creates the need for a new security paradigm that is capable of defending against these new threats."
Blended static and dynamic security: Heightened security measures are applied during high-risk or complex scenarios by pairing dynamic controls with granular static policies.
Each action must be compliant with access principles – and conventional Zero Trust principles simply won't cut it.
Today, that environment includes cloud infrastructure, APIs, automated systems, and increasingly autonomous AI agents operating across multiple platforms.

IoT forensics is the process of identifying, collecting and analysing digital evidence from Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their connected systems.
IoT forensics examines information from these devices, their applications, connected phones, network records and cloud services.

According to the research team, a 9-billion-parameter (9B) model was able to run inference on eight of the nine hardware types tested.
Unlike traditional malware, AI-embedded replication programs can independently figure out how to operate on unfamiliar hardware.
Computing resources available for model inference—both inside and outside data centers—continue to grow.
Lightweight agents are likely to devote more effort than human attackers to compromising the vast numbers of IoT devices scattered worldwide.
An increase in slow self-replicating programs could be a harbinger of more aggressive, faster-propagating replication programs approaching—programs potentially capable of breaching well-defended machines or efficiently stealing API keys.

Australia was the most targeted country for IoT and OT cyberattacks in Nozomi Networks Labs' latest threat intelligence report, up from third place in the previous edition.
Threat actors Nozomi also examined activity attributed to threat actors.
Scattered Spider's prominence also underscores the role of social engineering in attacks on industrial and connected environments.
The repeated use of these basic methods suggests that many connected industrial and IoT environments remain exposed through longstanding weaknesses rather than highly specialised intrusion techniques.
It also urged defenders to focus on the behaviours and indicators left by threat actors and to keep detection logic updated as new intelligence emerges.

The team reports the setup served 0.39 tokens per second, and writes that a distributed botnet of cheap, typically poorly defended IoT devices could provide enough compute to run a capable model.
The researchers largely excluded the cyber-exploit stages, citing earlier papers including CyberGym, ExploitBench, and work on adaptive worms as showing that small models are already capable of cyber exploits, and focused on inference setup, which they describe as the least studied and possibly most challenging stage for small models.
The representative threat model is Kimwolf, a botnet the post identifies as having infected more than two million devices, primarily off-brand Android TVs.
In a local replication of Meta’s CyberSecEval 3 spear-phishing evaluation, small models scored at levels the post characterizes as very poor to poor when normalized to human raters, which the team cites as evidence that social engineering lags agentic cyber capability in small models.
Unlike hard-coded botnets such as Kimwolf, which target specific device types, an AI botnet is not tied to particular hardware, the post states, pointing to small models setting up inference on machines from a Jetson Nano to a Mac.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI have announced the court-authorized seizure of two cyberattack tools, Microscan and FishHub, operated by Flax Typhoon, a nation-state hacker group sponsored by Beijing.
Detected targets include energy facilities in the U.S. and Taiwan, airports in Japan and Poland, universities, and global NGOs.
The National Security Division will continue to respond firmly and use all tools at our disposal to disrupt Flax Typhoon threats and dismantle the infrastructure that supports them," said John A. Eisenberg, Deputy Attorney General for National Security.

The architecture and methodologies for safely deploying Artificial Intelligence will continue to evolve, as was the case with previous technologies, and adequate guardrails will pave the way to unlock strong productivity gains from AI, Airtel Business CEO Sharat Sinha said.
On the government's plan to soon release a consultation paper on AI regulation dealing with issues like tech safety, deepfakes and a human-first approach, Sinha said it was "a step in the right direction".
"We work very closely with both government regulators, as well as our customers, to make sure that whatever we do is compliant, and we play a positive role in bringing out such specifications.
So, that will continue to be our effort," he told PTI.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DoJ) have announced the disruption of malicious tools used by a China-linked advanced persistent threat group known as Flax Typhoon.
To that end, the agencies seized several domains and blocked access to platforms that were used to scan, and in some cases infiltrate, U.S. critical infrastructure.
According to the FBI, the botnet is said to have used a number of domains, including subdomains of w8510[.
In all, more than 260,000 devices, including approximately 126,000 U.S. devices, were actively infected as of June 5, 2024.
The botnet made use of a tool called Microscan to facilitate reconnaissance and computer vulnerability scanning, allowing the threat actors to identify targets of interest.
