Wednesday, 9:17 p.m.: Serious incident at OPFA-Chemie - fuel prices skyrocket
It happened late in the evening: An accident involving highly toxic substances has occurred at the OPFA chemical refineries. The release of chemicals contaminated the plant site and the surrounding area. NBC defense troops are already on site to prevent the chemicals from spreading further. Production has been temporarily halted. Experts assume that there will be problems with the supply of fuel due to the production stoppage. The market reacted promptly with significant price increases. The ongoing investigations point to manipulation of the OPFA monitoring systems. Suspicions point to attacks on IT infrastructures responsible for the security of production facilities. The question now is whether and how this accident could have been prevented. We report further.
The CANCOM Austria security team knows that this fictitious case can also happen in reality at any time and that companies are confronted with cyber attacks on a daily basis, sometimes with massive financial consequences. In this case, our experts and those of our partners picked up the trail. They analyze the events and show which innovative security measures can help against such incidents and prevent them in the future.
More information will certainly be available at the CANCOM Austria Security Night:
