The oil and gas industry has been taking a beating as severe as any other hit hard by the COVID-19 shutdown. Tanker ships loaded with crude idle in the ocean<\/a>, traders struggle to store what has already been pumped<\/a>, and last week prices per barrel plummeted into negative sums<\/a>. With all that going on, the industry is ripe for hackers to exploit.<\/p>\n

In some cases, that’s already happening, says Tom Murphy, CTO at network security provider Nuspire. Phishing and spear-phishing attacks are on the rise against Nuspire’s oil and gas clients, he says, and hackers are getting more sophisticated in avoiding detection.<\/p>\n

“Normally in an attack you’d see poor grammar. But they’re getting better at that. Attacks are becoming more complex because so many people are working from home and are outside of their employers’ firewalls,” he says. Other tactics target employees and consumers eager for a discount in financially difficult times, such as prepurchasing gas at low prices or signing up for gas discounts.<\/p>\n

Murphy is already seeing a 10% to 15% increase in the number of attacks targeting oil and gas consumers and companies, he says.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Phil Neray, vice president of IoT and industrial cybersecurity at CyberX, says phishers are utilizing legitimate-looking requests for proposals and requests for quotes in their attacks, sometimes wrapped up as ZIP files, to take advantage of the target’s desire to make (or save) money.<\/p>\n

“When businesses are hurting, we should expect cybercriminals to send more of these phishing emails \u2014 especially if people aren’t remembering their cybersecurity training,” he says.<\/p>\n

Calm Before the Storm
<\/strong>While a massive flood of attacks against oil and gas companies has yet to materialize, potentially because of the very problems that the industry is facing \u2014 consumers aren’t using as much oil and gas as they were just a few months ago, so companies are not making as much money from their products \u2014 Murphy and other cybersecurity experts say this could be the calm before the storm as the industry lays off or furloughs employees, including those protecting the industrial control systems that drive the business.<\/p>\n

Prior to the global shutdown, experts were predicting a worse year for oil and gas cybersecurity. More than half of the 1,726 cybersecurity professionals employed at power companies said their companies suffered at least one shutdown or lost operational data at least once per year because of cybersecurity incidents, according to a joint Siemens and Ponemon Institute report<\/a> published in October 2019. One-quarter of respondents said their companies were impacted by cyberattacks from nation-state affiliated hackers. Meanwhile, only 31% said they were ready to face a breach, 54% said they expected an attack on their infrastructure in the following year, and 56% said a lack of skilled personnel made it difficult to keep operational technology secure.<\/p>\n

That data supports findings by industrial cybersecurity company Dragos<\/a>, which revealed that at least five hacker groups were specifically targeting oil and gas companies in an August 2019 report. (At the time of the report, nine groups in total were focusing on the energy industry.)<\/p>\n

Joe Slowik, a principal adversary hunter at Dragos, says ransomware is less attractive now because companies just don’t have the ability to pay the way they did a few months ago. But getting access to corporate networks never gets old, he says.<\/p>\n

“Because of the unique nature of the industry, irrespective of the financial motive, it’s going to be an intelligence target of interest and could wind up disrupting them in catastrophic ways. Just because money went away doesn’t mean attacks will be,” Slowik says. “With companies hurting as badly as they are and employees working from home and security budgets getting cut, it would be a good time to attack.\u201d<\/p>\n

An organization’s ability to withstand these attacks depends on how resilient its cybersecurity posture was before the shutdown, and a big part of that is how many members of its cybersecurity response team it was able to retain, says Jeremy Kennelly, an analysis manager at Mandiant Threat Intelligence who worked in the oil and gas business for more than six years. Oil and gas companies need a better understanding of who their contractors and subcontractors are in order to better protect their networks from hackers, he says.<\/p>\n

“There are potentially hundreds or thousands of sites and contractors at each one accessing networks,” Kennelly says. “But you may not even know who all of your workforce is. How do you educate people that you don’t even know? It could take 30 minutes just to find a subcontractor’s name, let alone an email address or phone number.”<\/p>\n
