Fortinet Blog | News and Threat Research Havex, Meet OPC Server

Following a post by F-Secure this June, bringing to light a variant of the Havex malware family targetting ICS/SCADA systems, there has been much speculation regarding the motives behind this malware campaign. That makes it only the second known malware family directly targeting SCADA equipment, after the infamous Stuxnet that reportedly set back Iran's nuclear program by 2 years.
Symantec has called the attackers DragonFly while Crowdstrike refers to them as Energetic Bear in their 2013 Threat Report.
