ACID detected that a cybercriminal had hacked into a thermal power plant’s management system and gained full control. It immediately informed the client, who, with the details provided by ACID, closed the security breach and regained control of its management and control systems. The client thus avoided financial losses, as well as damage to reputation. Potential harm to the environment was also avoided.
In a separate incident, ACID detected a utilities and power company’s classified report on a system malfunction on the dark web. It sent a real-time alert to the company, which was unaware that the report had been leaked. The information provided by ACID allowed the company to investigate who had leaked the report and take action to mitigate the consequences of the leak.
