State of Industrial Control Systems in Poland and Switzerland
This is mind boggling. Who installs these systems? Who maintains them? Surely this is supposed to be done by someone with at least a certain amount of clue? Enough clue not to hook up your insecure gear to the internet? No?<p>I don't even get how this happens. Surely these things are not just plugged in to a modem? There has got to be some kind of LAN involved. If there is, then there should at least be an edge firewall. Or even a simple garden variety gateway with NAT, which would already prevent all of those open ports from being accessible. So what gives? Are people <i>deliberately</i> hooking this gear up to the internet, <i>deliberately</i> exposing ports <i>without</i> taking security into consideration? That is patently insane.
