"Flaws in Critical-Infrastructure Software Could Have Meant Catastrophe"

Security researchers from Tenable discovered vulnerabilities in two widely used critical-infrastructure software programs made by Schneider Electric. The software programs are commonly used at manufacturing sites, solar power facilities, power plants, and other critical infrastructure facilities. The vulnerabilities contained by the software programs could allow hackers to remotely control industrial systems and shut down critical-infrastructure plants. This article continues to discuss the vulnerabilities, Schneider Electric’s response, and the dangers of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
