CyberAv3ngers Hacks Unveil: Your Water’s Safe, But Your Security’s a Joke!

While our water remains safe to drink, the CyberAv3ngers, an Iran-linked group, have been exploiting PLCs across the US using just default passwords and Google. It’s a wake-up call reminding us that our PLCs are as secure as a cookie jar within arm’s reach of a bunch of kids. Welcome to the era of Iran-linked PLC exploits!

Hot Take:

Well, it seems like the CyberAv3ngers are no superheroes. Instead of using high-tech gear and secret tactics, they're just using default passwords and Google. It's like the equivalent of breaking into a house by trying '1234' as the security code. The upside? Our water is still safe to drink. The downside? Our PLCs are as secure as a cookie jar on a low shelf in a room full of kids.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
