Infrastructure networks are becoming targets for hacking


The report is an anonymous survey of more than 700 security professionals who are protecting critical infrastructure in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Mexico and Japan.


The investigation also found that hackers have been attacking critical infrastructure networks around the world over the past two years.And in many cases, hackers are successful, causing damage to critical infrastructure, and every successful cyberattack leads to infrastructure downtime.

For security reasons, respondents were tight-lipped about the details of various attacks.However, report participant Eitan Goldstein of Tenable revealed to the media that "these are multiple successful attacks on the physical world using cyber technology.”


Eitan Goldstein pointed out, "Today's cyber risks are not only theoretical, as industrial control systems are connected to the network, these infrastructures are also exposed to attack.For those of us who routinely maintain power plants, the proliferation of smart devices, sensors, and IoT products does increase the risk of cyberattacks.In many cases, even businesses don't know which devices are connected to the internet and which devices and content can be accessed by hackers. ”


A worm called Stuxnet once hit Iran's nuclear power plant facilities, downbringing down its systems and causing severe damage to both those infrastructures and the country's economy.Now, with the spread of the Internet of Things, the world's critical infrastructure has begun to face greater threats, and it is urgent to attract the attention of relevant industry and security leaders.
