The industry of State F rests on the corporation Steelhill — an ecosystem uniting the coal mining and processing plant with the metallurgical giant Metalliko.
In the north, Steelhill mines coal for furnaces and regional thermal power plants. Mines, drifts, and processing plants operate as a single mechanism. The complex includes its own coke chemical production — the fuel for the steelmaking cycle. To the south lies Metalliko: classical metallurgy and a titanium division.
All production activities rely on advanced digital infrastructure. Corporate IT systems here are tightly interwoven with industrial control system networks. Environmental monitoring sensors, mine safety control systems, and hundreds of PLCs that directly command rolling mills and furnaces — all of this forms a single digital framework for Steelhill.
For hackers, this opens up vast opportunities for attacks: from operator consoles at the coal processing plant to corporate IT servers. And the most dangerous part is that attackers don't need to break everything at once. It is enough to strike a single vulnerable point to trigger a chain reaction.
