Iot attacks

MCM-3150 With the gradual deepening of the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, the role of the Internet of Things in promoting the transformation of intelligent manufacturing is becoming more and more important. With a wide variety of iot devices, manufacturers are able to optimize their production processes and processes more efficiently and accurately. For example, companies are using iot sensors placed in devices to track assets, collect data, and perform analytics. These sensors monitor various operating parameters and critical data of the equipment to enable automatic recovery and reduce service downtime.

MCM-3150 With the increase of various types of iot devices in manufacturing plants, more security risks are virtually brought, and iot devices have networking properties and are easily exposed to the network environment. The manufacturer’s Internet of Things, industrial control network, and office network are usually not effectively isolated, and can penetrate into the industrial control network through the open vulnerability of Internet of Things devices or 0Day to carry out malicious attacks on key equipment in production, affecting production and causing downtime, processing accidents and other events.

MCM-3150

Industrial security incidents with detailed reports of iot device attacks are described below. On August 5, 2008, a transnational oil pipeline explosion in Turkey damaged the pipeline and interrupted the flow of oil through the pipeline. The pipe was equipped with detectors and cameras, but no alarm signal was received before the pipe was damaged, and the cameras failed to capture footage of the explosion. After investigation, it was found that the cause of the accident was the surveillance camera MCM-3150 itself. Hackers used a software flaw in the webcam to break into the internal system and install a malicious program on a computer responsible for alarm management, and then infiltrated the pipeline operation control system to increase the pressure inside the pipeline without triggering the alarm. The ultra-high pressure inside the oil pipeline caused the explosion. And the hackers deleted up to 60 hours of security footage to “destroy the body,” leaving no clues. Although the incident occurred in the oil and gas industry, the attack methods and techniques used by hackers can often be translated to other industries, and the manufacturing enterprises targeted by hackers are highly likely to experience an increase in the defective rate of manufacturing products, damage to key processing equipment, and employee casualties.
