Industrial SCADA Systems and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) →Delayswater utility operations
Internet-reachable PLCs with weak/default passwords can have setpoints changed or programs erased, and the cited case says the utility switched to manual operation, so water utility operations are delayed.
“In November 2023, attackers got into a booster station controller in Pennsylvania, most likely over the internet, and the utility switched to manual operation.”
