Russia-aligned hackers are looking to disrupt Canada's energy sector, intelligence agency warns
A new intelligence report warns that Canada's oil and gas sector is vulnerable to attacks from non-state threat actors.
"We assess that the intent of this activity is very likely to disrupt critical services for psychological impact, ultimately to weaken Canadian support for Ukraine. We assess that this activity will almost certainly continue for the duration of the war, and will likely increase as Russia's invasion efforts falter, or new support for Ukraine is announced," said the report.
In April, the CSE's Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, the government's authority on cyber security, said it couldn't comment on the leak. It did say it had a confirmed report that an actor "had the potential to cause physical damage to Canadian critical infrastructure." A customer pumps gas at Costco, as others wait in line in 2021 following the cyberextortion attempt on the Colonial Pipeline, a vital U.S. pipeline that carries fuel from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast.
CSE said state-sponsored actors, meanwhile, will likely continue to target the sector for commercial and economic reasons — hunting for trade secrets, research, and business and production plans.
