ZionSiphon malware designed to sabotage water treatment systems

Darktrace identified ZionSiphon, malware purpose-built to sabotage water treatment and desalination facilities by manipulating chlorine levels and hydraulic pressures. The malware currently contains a flawed XOR encryption that renders it non-functional, but a corrected variant could cause severe operational damage. Israeli water infrastructure is the confirmed target, though similar facilities worldwide should assume risk.
