Event description
Hackers have interfered with the system that forecasts energy consumption in State F. The attack affected not only the OffEnergo power supplier but also energy-intensive industries, including the MetalliKO iron and steel works.
The system is based on a model that analyzes actual data and calculates probable consumption figures. The procedure was interrupted during data processing, which resulted in an output that was far from accurate. Energy consumers suffered significant losses due to poor forecasting.
For now, other industrial enterprises in State F postponed the integration of the model indefinitely as they want to be sure that the system operates without issues and intruders can no longer compromise its security.
