Novakon’s HMI Vulnerabilities: A Comedy of Errors with No Patches in Sight
Novakon’s industrial control products are riddled with vulnerabilities—a hacker’s dream come true! Despite a warning telegram from CyberDanube, Novakon seems to be on a communication fast. Looks like their cybersecurity strategy is “if you can’t hear them, they’re probably not there.”
Hot Take:
When your industrial control system has more holes than Swiss cheese, it might be time to rethink your security strategy. Novakon seems to have taken a page from the “head in the sand” playbook by ignoring CyberDanube’s desperate pleas for patching up their vulnerabilities. But hey, who needs secure systems in critical infrastructure, right? As long as the machines are working… for now.
Key Points:
– Novakon’s HMIs are riddled with vulnerabilities, including remote code execution and weak authentication.
– These devices are used in critical infrastructure, making the vulnerabilities particularly concerning.
– CyberDanube discovered these issues but has received no response from Novakon.
– 40,000 units of these vulnerable devices are deployed in global data centers.
– Novakon’s response to the findings has been non-existent, leaving systems at risk.
