As a person who learn computer/basic cybersecurity for 15years and play on both legacy and new technology, I can say one thing that if anything is connected on network, you better have it secure with good encryption. It is not guarantee, but better be safe than sorry. Edit: learning network infrastructure is fun and get to see situations to building and finding vulnerability to prevent the real life situation.

A fun exercise is to look back at some of the “disasters” that happened to developed economies and ask yourself if this could have been intentionally caused by a cyber attack. Fires caused by overloaded power lines, hospitals loosing their medical records and access to their systems, trains carrying extreme chemicals derailing, and most recently cargo ships loosing power and crashing into bridges…

A ton of them (chemical facilities) are. There is no way that person could control an NG plant in Houston.

@Maxjoker98 Месяц назад

Yeah, air gaps are cheap and effective, but they can be very inconvenient. Also air gaps aren't perfect, everything with a pin that can be controlled programmatically can emit detectable RF. You can probably speak LoRa over VGA, HDMI, LPT, etc. Also you can do what happened with Stuxnet and just infect computers via infected USB devices(nowadays probably smartphones). In reality everything can probably be hacked, it's just about making it more difficult. Unfortunately, we're often prioritizing low cost and convenience over security.

@GrannyDryden Месяц назад

@@Maxjoker98 true though to my mind, remote attacks verses needing physical access to machine to deliver a payload via USB, for example is of a magnitude more difficult and would stop a lot of these random attacks. Reminds me of the early days of home wifi, when routers open authentication was on by default and you had to turn WEP on.

@synik4lc Месяц назад

@@Maxjoker98 Best comment in this section. Well said

@voidvector Месяц назад

Air gapping costs money -- it means power company engineers/technicians cannot monitor/operate remotely, e.g. WFH, requiring night shift. Are you willing to pay extra on your power bill for air gap? Or are you going to pick the cheapest power company?

@Bkojohnkllplpopll Месяц назад

It's not hackers you have to worry about. You have to worry about an entity ( a person who isn't in the system but is in the system with a name) that knows how to monopolize people. A computer doesn't know how to monopolize people and psyche them out with Psychological Operations. I knew of a girl who did this and she had five counties wrapped around her little finger. The cool thing was that she was being herself. She passed away and her legacy is still thriving.

Being in gov cybersec professionally, I can tell you that it is most certainly foreign adversary hackers that are often state sponsored (even if they’re doing it for fun, the foreign adversary isn’t going to stop them bc they’re interested in that data as well). While some American hackers most certainly do have malicious intent, they are not often going after US companies. In my management of enterprise networks, bots are constantly (and annoyingly) crawling our network from foreign IP addresses (yes, namely Chinese and Russian).
