Analysis[change | change source]

Exposing Major Cybersecurity Risks in Solar Industry[change | change source]

In June 2023, Cyble reported the discovery of over 130,000 internet-exposed[22] photovoltaic monitoring and diagnostic systems, highlighting a significant cybersecurity risk in the solar industry. These systems, crucial for managing solar installations' efficiency and integration with the electric grid, could become targets for cyberattacks, potentially leading to serious consequences like reduced energy production and system instability. The vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated firmware associated with these systems could make them accessible to threat actors.

Malware Targeting Indian Taxpayers[change | change source]

In October 2022, Cyble conducted research revealed the resurgence of the Drinik malware,[23] which targeted Indian taxpayers. The malware, initially detected in September 2021, has evolved with enhanced capabilities to evade detection. It tricks victims into downloading a fake income tax refund app, which then steals sensitive financial information.

Detection of Info-Stealing Malware Targeting Indian Air Force[change | change source]

In 2024, Cyble detected an info-stealing malware targeting the Indian Air Force.[24] The malware, distributed via phishing emails, was designed to extract sensitive data from browsers. This event highlighted Cyble's ability to identify and analyze sophisticated cyber threats, reinforcing their role in protecting national security interests from complex cyber attacks.
