Cyber attacks continue to hit critical infrastructure, exposing vulnerabilities in oil, water, healthcare sectors

Critical infrastructure sites have been hit by cyber attacks, impacting a Canadian oil pipeline company, a UK water company, and a US hospital. Cybercriminals allegedly stole 190GB of data from Canada’s Trans-Northern Pipelines and compromised customer data at Southern Water. The ransomware group ALPHV/BlackCat is thought to be behind the attacks. Additionally, Lurie Children’s Hospital has suffered three weeks of limited communication with patients due to a cyber attack.
