OT security has always rested on a core assumption: if a system is physically separated, it is safe. For years, the air gap represented real certainty. No routable path, no shared infrastructure, no logical bridge — and no external attack surface to speak of. In safety-critical industrial environments, that clarity mattered. But the industrial world…

The victims differed significantly in sector and geography, but the underlying patterns were consistent: ransomware operators, financially motivated groups, and state-linked actors all pursued access to trusted systems — and found it.…

While the targets varied, a consistent pattern emerged: attackers are increasingly targeting organisations that aggregate users, sit upstream in shared systems, or serve as access nodes across broader environments. Here is a breakdown of the…
