OT Network Security Threats: Industrial Routers Under Attack

    Date: 12/31/2025

    Severity: Medium

    Summary

    Over 90 days of honeypot monitoring, industrial routers emerged as the most targeted OT assets, accounting for 67% of attacks, mainly through SSH/Telnet brute force and HTTP-based exploitation. New botnets like RondoDox and ShadowV2 dominated malware activity, while the Chaya_005 cluster highlighted sustained exploitation of Sierra Wireless routers, underscoring ongoing risks to OT network perimeter devices.
