Malicious actors have historically passed over programmable logic controllers in favor of easier targets. Until recently, PLCs were separated from public-facing networks. New PLC malware leverages existing problems with microprocessors to operate undetected and wreak havoc. The malware isn’t out in the wild and wont be anytime soon, according to developer Ali Abbasi, who will present his findings at the upcoming Black Hat Europe 2016 conference. He hopes to highlight the next generation of potential issues and encourage manufacturers to correct existing PLC problems before sending new iterations.”]
