The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued a joint report detailing malware attacks targeting employees of companies that operate nuclear power plants in the U.S., including the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation in Burlington, Kan., according to the cybersecurity firm Tripwire.
The agencies communicated this report via an “amber” alert to the industry, which, Tripwire reported, is the second-highest level of severity for these types of reports from the FBI and DHS.
