Three new hacking groups go after industrial systems.

Azurite is focused on stealing network diagrams and other intellectual property, rather than disrupting operations, Dragos said.
-
Pyroxene, which other cyber researchers have linked to Iran, specializes in moving between administrative and operational networks.
-
Sylvanite activities sometimes resemble those linked to China. Dragos said the group quickly exploits new vulnerabilities, including recent bugs in Ivanti and Fortinet equipment.
