Mandiant: Rise in Opportunistic Hacks and Info-Sharing Imperil Industrial Networks. Hackers are gaining insight and knowledge on complex ICS environments via information-sharing. Mandiant’s research shows a rise in attackers this past year attempting to monetize their access to an exposed ICS system. These attacks have affected solar energy panels and water control systems, as well as building automation systems (BAS) and home security systems. In all cases, attackers gained access to the victim’s ICS network via the Internet and shared IT credentials.”]
