The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/assets\/gao-20-453.pdf\">report<\/a> in May 2020 noted the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) program within the Department of Homeland Security includes reviews and inspections of cybersecurity efforts at 3,300 high-risk chemical facilities covered by CFATS.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 58-page report found this guidance hadn&#8217;t been updated in more than 10 years. And so, this latest drive by President Biden to better protect the chemical sector&#8217;s computer systems may introduce fresh rules and guidelines to defend against intruders&#8217; latest techniques, exploits, and malware.<\/p>\n<p>In its report, Dragos said that in the third quarter of 2022, it observed 128 ransomware incidents in the industrial field, compared with 125 in Q2, and that the LockBit gang accounted for a third of the attacks in each quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Forty-six of the observed infections were in the US, compared with 42 in Europe, and 28 in Asia. Manufacturing was the number-one target of the ransomware operators, accounting for 88 of the attacks. The sector that included the chemicals industry had one ransomware attack during the quarter, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The threat against chemical industry companies is a global issue.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Symantec said the notorious North Korean-linked cybercrime group Lazarus in January began <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2022\/04\/15\/lazarus_chemical_korea\/\" rel=\"noopener\">focusing<\/a> on chemical companies, initially in South Korea, stealing as much information as it could.<\/p>\n<p>Flavor and fragrance developer Symrise, drug manufacturer Siegfried, and chemical distributor Brenntag all were targets of ransomware intrusions in late 2020 and early 2021, and in 2019 US-based chemical companies <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2019\/03\/24\/security_roundup_220319\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hexion and Momentive<\/a> both were victims of
