BAZAN Group, Israel's largest oil refinery operator, has reportedly experienced a cyber-attack, rendering their websites, bazan.co.il and eng.bazan.co.il, inaccessible to visitors from most parts of the world. The attack, allegedly carried out by the Iranian hacktivist group known as 'Cyber Avengers,' has resulted in HTTP 502 errors or refusal of incoming traffic. The 'Cyber Avengers' claim to have breached BAZAN's network in July 2023 and subsequently leaked sensitive screenshots purportedly from BAZAN's SCADA systems. The leaked diagrams comprise sensitive details concerning the "Flare Gas Recovery Unit," the "Amine Regeneration" system, a petrochemical "Splitter Section," and the PLC code. According to the hackers, they exploited a vulnerability in a Check Point firewall at BAZAN to gain unauthorized access to the company's network. However, Check Point has denied the group's claims, stating that there is no evidence of any past vulnerability enabling such an attack. The 'Cyber Avengers' group has a history of claiming responsibility for significant cyber-attacks, including a pipeline malfunction that caused fires at Haifa Bay petrochemical plants in 2021, as well as attacks on Israeli railway stations in 2020. Given their track record, their current claims should be taken seriously.
