Ore conveyor
Critical events
Event description
Hackers have brought the MetalliKO iron and steel works to a standstill. Due to an error, the conveyor belt broke but continued to feed ore. A worker who was near the conveyor belt at the time was injured. The ore feed has been stopped, the furnace is operating at minimum capacity, and it will take several hours to restart production. Authorities have announced an unscheduled inspection of the enterprise.
Consequences
1. Enterprise closure
2. Enterprise disruptions and downtime
3. Health threat

A cyberattack has caused confirmed physical damage for the second time ever
Hackers had struck an unnamed steel mill in Germany. They did so by manipulating and disrupting control systems to such a degree that a blast furnace could not be properly shut down, resulting in "massive"—though unspecified—damage.
