Security Week – Several natural gas pipeline operators in the United States have been affected by a cyberattack that hit a third-party communications system, but the incident does not appear to have impacted operational technology. Energy Transfer Partners was the first pipeline company to report problems with its Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system due to a cyberattack that targeted Energy Services Group, specifically the company’s Latitude Technologies unit.

The Independent – Leading artificial intelligence researchers have boycotted South Korea’s top university after it teamed up with a defence company to develop “killer robots” for military use.

The Security Ledger – Recent Attacks on the third-party data system of several U.S. pipeline companies highlight the persistent need for better ways to secure industrial control systems (ICSs), particularly when third-party software is in use, security experts said.  

Dark Reading – Attack a warning on vulnerabilities in energy networks, security analysts say. Several cybersecurity experts this week cautioned against underestimating the seriousness of a cyberattack on an EDI service provider that disrupted data communication services at four major US interstate gas pipeline companies in the last few days.  

Forbes – Another day, another data breach. Actually, all data breaches aren’t created equally. I should say, another massive data breach. Under Armour shared that on March 25 it discovered unauthorized access that exposed or compromised 150 million MyFitnessPal accounts.
