A day after the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) in Tamil Nadu denied any hacking of its control system, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) on Wednesday confirmed the presence of malware in one of the computers. The nuclear corporation, however, added that the “systems are not affected” by the cyberattack.
Issuing a statement in this regard, the corporation said, “The identification of malware in NPCIL system is correct. The matter was conveyed by CERT-In when it was noticed by them on September 4, 2019.”
