Industrial control infrastructure that monitors and manages devices and sensors can be remotely exploited. Security firm IOActive was able to report a fake measurement to the sensor data collection system. The fake measurement can change the way the backend industrial process will behave, according to the researchers. The industrial automation and control systems (IACS) that IOActive researched use wireless sensors to collect data, explained Lucas Apa, a security researcher and consultant at IOActive. The findings were made at the Black Hat security conference last week.”]
