Evil PLC attack: New attack technique against industrial plants
Claroty's Team82 security researchers discover new attack techniques against industrial plants: Evil PLC attack. PLCs – programmable logic controllers – or programmable logic controllers (PLCs) can trigger engineering workstations to run malicious code to manipulate processes or run ransomware. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are essential industrial devices that regulate manufacturing processes in all critical infrastructure areas. This makes them an interesting target for cybercriminals and state-sponsored attackers, such as the Stuxnet attack on Iran's nuclear program. Security researchers at Team82, the research arm of cyber-physical systems (CPS) security specialist Claroty, have now been able to prove that industrial control systems are not…
