Crafty crims broke in but encryption stopped any nastiness
US cybersecurity agency CISA is urging high-risk chemical facilities to secure their online accounts after someone broke into its Chemical Security Assessment Tool portal.
In normal circumstances, only facility members who have passed the Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information training and certification are allowed to access the portal. All three were added to CISA's known exploited vulnerabilities catalog in January and given an unusually tight 48-hour deadline for patching, illustrating the perceived severity in the upper echelons of government.
Unencrypted access to this information would have given onlookers details about what chemicals are stored where – and in what quantities. Finally, CSAT user accounts may also have been exposed, which means names, titles, business addresses, and business phone numbers could have been accessed. As for actionable advice, CISA just said those who have CSAT accounts should think about rotating their passwords for any and all accounts they may have, including business and personal ones without any ties to the US government, that used the same password. Just in case they get caught up in password-spraying attacks down the line.
