Tardigrade is a new form of malware with advanced characteristics that is being used for espionage.
Biomanufacturing facilities in the US are being actively targeted by an unknown hacking group leveraging a new malware strain. In a new threat advisory, the Bioeconomy Information Sharing and Analysis Center (BIO-ISAC) revealed that the first attack believed to be launched using this new malware dubbed “Tardigrade” occurred in the spring of this year. At that time, Tardigrade was used in a cyberattack on a large biomanufacturing facility though a second facility was hit using the same malware just last month. According to BIO-ISAC, both biomanufacturing sites and their partners are “encouraged to assume that they are targets” and should take the necessary steps to review their security and response postures.
