Something to be aware of if anyone works in environments with this sort of controls.

Someone finally figured out how to hack Allen Bradley.

Siemens plcs was hack back in 2010 by the Stuxnet worm. It was thought to of been created jointly by the NSA and Israelites and was used to over speed and destroy the Iranian nuclear fuel processing centrifuges severely crippling their program for a few years and damaging several other Iranian businesses.

yup and IIRC, the iranian centrifuges were the only reported casualties in the world out of the millions of siemens PLCs running in the wild...

CIA has entered the centrifuge

It is amazing that they wrote the code that it mainly only affected its intended target. They centrifuge PLCs were not even hooked up to the internet. They infected thousands of laptops of Iranian and contractors(mainly the slimy french) with Step 7 in the hopes that one of them would hook up to the plc's in the centrifuge facility. Some one eventually did and infected it.

It had to do with proper licensing those that did not have it were infected with the virus, was rather ingenious just like VW's emissions cheating scandal, & both ended up costing a lot of money.
