On 31 August 2016, Wapack Labs identified open source reporting from Iran that two of their oil refinery operations were
recently infected with malicious software.
Iranian officials, who claim, fixed the software problem, deny that the
malware was responsible for a series of fires at several petrochemical plants
in Iran. With political instability
prevalent in Iran and other Middle East countries, the detection of
cyber-attacks and numerous fires could indicate further destabilization. We are providing this information for your situational
awareness.
