"Schools Are ‘Vulnerable’ To Heating Hacks"

An examination of smart building controllers conducted by security research firm Pen Test Partners, reveals the vulnerability of such systems to hacking. Researchers looked at building management system controllers manufactured by Trend Control Systems and discovered that an overwhelming number of these systems were improperly installed and unprotected. The vulnerability of these systems leaves schools, military bases, government  buildings and more, susceptible to hacks that can disrupt heating and ventilation systems. This article further discusses the vulnerabilities of smart building controllers and how they could be prevented, along with concerns surrounding the security IoT systems and critical infrastructure.
