Vulnerabilities in the program management of various SCADA-systems


Experts have found a number of vulnerabilities in the program management of various SCADA-systems

Existing mistakes allow hackers to compromise a corporate network of the company, having hacked one of programs of management with the automated systems of the building.

As noted by researchers Terry McCorkle and Billy Rios, the popular SCADA-system Tridium Niagra, which is used by many companies, including Boeing and Whirlpool, and medical institutions around the world to integrate and manage the energy systems of buildings and other operations, such as lighting, climate control and fire safety is at risk of breaking.

Experts have found a number of vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to remotely hack electrical and other critical systems for buildings and demonstrated the attack on the platform.
