Observations from the Wolf Creek nuclear plant and other “ICS” hacks

July 11, 2017

I did a podcast for Security Ledger on my thoughts about the recent hacking of Wolf Creek and other “ICS” facilities. The bottom line is the “means” exist for hacking control systems and causing damage.  The question is the motive to do so. The podcast can be found at https://soundcloud.com/securityledger/joe-weiss-on-grid-attacks-and-critical-infrastructure-security. The full blog post can be found at https://securityledger.com/2017/07/the-big-dark-motive-not-means-is-what-holds-back-a-crippling-grid-hack/
