US pipeline industry under "major cyber attack"
- stephengillie 14y agoWill we soon see legislation restricting industrial control computers from having internet connectivity?
- EvilTerran 14y agoI'm amazed it isn't already required. That said, didn't Stuxnet attack isolated systems via social engineering and USB sticks?
- stephengillie 14y agoTrue, but sneakernet protocols are more difficult to navigate and hack than any NAT. Why leave that attack surface exposed?
- EvilTerran 14y agoI agree completely. It was more an observation that keeping important systems isolated is at least enough of a thing for attackers to be already trying to work around it; if anything, I'd take that as a sign that critical infrastructure that's not isolated is dangerously behind the times.
