Abstract
The widespread use of information and communication technology in industrial control systems has exposed many cyber attacks to these systems. The first step in providing security solutions is to recognize the threats and vulnerabilities of a system at first. Therefore, in this work, after providing a general overview of the SCADA security, we provide a survey on actual cyber attacks from 2000 up to now. To be able to assess the risk of these attacks, we perform profiling them based on the target systems of the attack, the geographical area of it, the method used in the attack and its impact. This profiling provides a clear view of the most important security incidents in SCADA systems and could be useful in the defining suitable strategies for preventing and defending against the major SCADA security attacks.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic was a remarkable and unprecedented event that changed the lives of billions of citizens around the world and resulted in what is known as a new term in terms of social norms and lifestyles. In addition to the tremendous impact on society and business in general, the epidemic created a unique set of cybercrime circumstances that also affected society and business. Increased anxiety due to this epidemic increases the probability of success of cyber attacks by increasing the number and scope of cyber attacks. This article analyzes the COVID-19 epidemic from the perspective of cybercrime and highlights the wide range of cyberattacks experienced worldwide during the epidemic. Cyberattacks are analyzed in the context of major global events to reveal how cyberattacks work. This analysis shows how, following what appears to be a large gap between the outbreak in China and the first COVID-19-related cyberattack, attacks are steadily becoming more prevalent than in some on days, 3 or 4 unique cyber attacks were reported. This analysis uses surveys in the UK as a case study to show how cybercriminals use key events and government announcements to build and design cybercrime campaigns.

Abstract
As an economic and technical point of view, operation of without operator or unmanned substations is of interest to power industry managers, so it is an opportunity to investigate cyber security carefully at this time. In this article, while studying the importance of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) centers cyber security, the cyber security requirements of two types of DCS (Distribution Control System) and traditional substations and the communication of these types of substations and the corresponding SCADA center were examined. In this article, based on the documents and standards of industrial cyber security and power industry, the security requirements of substations and their communications with the relevant centers were extracted, and these requirements were prioritized based on knowledge of the industry and the importance of existing departments and processes. In addition, due to the non-implementation of security requirements in high power substations, it was emphasized to pay attention to the cyber security considerations of this area, such as preparing security risk management documents, paying attention to personnel training and receiving security approvals.
