"Nuclear Plants, Hospitals at Risk of Hacked Radiation Monitoring Devices"

Ruben Santamarta, a principal security consultant at IOActive, has discovered major security vulnerabilities in devices that are used to monitor levels of radiation within nuclear plants, hospitals, seaports, and border controls. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to inject false radiation readings, which could lead to poor radiation detection and incorrect reactions by system operators. This article further discusses how Santamarta discovered these vulnerabilities, where these vulnerabilities stem from, how these flaws could be exploited, and where technical details of these findings will be presented.
