U.S.-based cybersecurity group SentinelOne Labs has found that a strain of malware called “SFG” on the information networks of a European energy firm, SC Magazine UK reported.
The malware opens a backdoor on targeted industrial control systems to launch a destructive payload in order to "potentially shut down an energy grid," said SentinelOne Labs. The malware affects all versions of Windows and has been produced to overcome next generation firewalls and anti-virus software.
