SCADA BYPASS:PLC versus HMI

摘要

In May, a scheduled conference talk on vulnerabilities in Siemens industrial control systems was shelved after the affected vendor was unable to develop a working fix in time and expressed concern.Researcher Dillon Beresford, an analyst at NSS Labs, decided to pull the plug just hours before he was set to hit the stage, due to the potential of real-life harm that the presentation could have caused. (Now that a patch is in place, Beresford plans to present his findings this month at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas).
