'We, Noname057(16), in collaboration with Z-Pentest - states the posted message - are inflicting a devastating blow on Danfoss and Dixel Web equipment. There was no need for any malware. We simply took advantage of the integrated systems.
Our reach extends to water supply systems, power plants, industrial plants and food storage sites. Similar incidents have affected hundreds of locations across Europe, yet they have not learned from their mistakes. Once again we have demonstrated the true cost of Western digital maturity. So keep an eye on our actions on the global stage.'
