Industrial control systems targeted by malicious attackers, research shows

Attackers are targeting Internet-connected industrial control systems in an effort to compromise their operation, according to data collected from a global network of honeypot systems that simulate water pumps. The ICS honeypot system, designed to attract attackers, was created by Kyle Wilhoit, a researcher from security firm Trend Micro. He shared some initial findings in March based on the system’s original deployment in the U.S. He shared new data regarding attacks at the Black Hat security conference on Thursday and also released the tools for others to build and deploy similar systems.”]
