This marks an escalation, although likely unintentional, of the effect cyber crime / cyber warfare has, in this case the actual loss of life.
Another notable escalation in cyber warfare is the TRITON attack that has been excellently documented by FireEye [1]. In this case, ICS safety systems were targeted, that, if caused to fail, could have resulted in catastrophic loss of life. FireEye places attribution on a Moscow-based research institute. From nation-states to criminal groups to activists (and everything in-between), this domain is one that malicious actors are having an increasing effect in, with consequences that can include loss of life.
