Hackers target biomanufacturing facilities using the Tardigrade malware

 

Biomanufacturing facilities in the US are being actively targeted by an unknown hacking group leveraging a new malware strain.

As reported by SiliconANGLE, Tardigrade is primarily used for espionage though the malware also causes other issues on the systems it infects including network outages.

In a separate report, Wired noted that these recent attacks may be linked to Covid-19 research as the pandemic has shown just how important biomanufacturing research is when developing vaccines and other medicines.

Due to Tardigrade's advanced characteristics, the malware could have been developed by an advanced threat detection group or even by a nation-state intelligence service.
