ABB’s 1,000 Vulnerabilities: A Hacker’s Playground or Just a Buggy Bonanza?
Researcher Gjoko Krstic discovered over 1,000 vulnerabilities in ABB’s building management products, exposing facilities to potential remote hacking. Despite ABB’s patches, Krstic criticizes their disclosure process. The vulnerabilities could impact hospitals, airports, and more, enabling unauthorized control of systems. ABB advises against internet exposure, yet many facilities remain vulnerable.
Hot Take:
Looks like ABB’s building management systems have more holes than a block of Swiss cheese! With over 1,000 vulnerabilities, it seems like their security strategy was more about “let’s let hackers in and see what happens” than keeping them out. Maybe they should consider rebranding as “Absolutely Breachable Buildings”!
Key Points:
- Researcher discovered over 1,000 vulnerabilities in ABB products.
- Flaws include critical security issues that allow remote hacking.
- ABB advises against internet exposure, but 1,000 facilities are vulnerable.
- Researcher dissatisfied with ABB’s patching and disclosure process.
- Vulnerabilities could impact hospitals, stadiums, and airports.
