|---|---|
| Siemens Project File Format | Adversaries may infect Siemens PLC project files (i.e., Step 7, WinCC, etc.) to achieve [Execution](https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0104), [Persistence](https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0110), and [Lateral Movement](https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0109) objectives. Adversaries may modify an existing project file or bring their own project files into the environment.(Citation: Nicolas Falliere, Liam O Murchu, Eric Chien February 2011) The ability for an adversary to deploy an infected project file relies on access to a workstation with Siemens PLC programming software installed on it from which a program download can be performed. |
