The NSA, CISA, FBI, Department of Energy, and Environmental Protection Agency issued a joint advisory about ongoing attacks against Siemens S7 Series programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in U.S. critical infrastructure. Threat actors are using Censys and ZoomEye to identify exposed Siemens PLCs and are generating Python exploitation scripts with snap7.dll and python-snap7 to communicate with Siemens S7 devices over S7comm, enabling read and write access to PLC memory, configuration data, and ladder logic programs; the activity is framed as persistent reconnaissance that could precede disruption, data theft, equipment damage, extended downtime, or safety incidents.
