Event description

Tragedy has struck the iron and steel plant: several workers died due to a toxic gas leak. A chlorine-containing gas (titanium chloride), which reacts with manganese and is used to produce sponge titanium, was the cause. The operation of the workshop has been suspended. Specialists are investigating the incident.

Consequences

1. Enterprise disruptions and downtime
2. Financial damage
3. Human casualties
4. Reputational damage

Event description

Hackers attacked the automated titanium sponge production control system and managed to manipulate the data displayed on the screen to workshop operators. The attackers entered inflated pressure readings in the retort and misled the operator on duty. In an attempt to normalize operations, the operator reduced pressure, leading to insufficient reaction intensity and a deterioration in the quality of titanium produced. Production had to be stopped, and the damaged materials were written off as defective. The company will also incur losses from downtime and the reconfiguration of workshop equipment.

Consequences

1. Enterprise disruptions and downtime
2. Financial damage
3. Product quality deterioration
4. Reputational damage
