Posted December 22, 2014 Source: BBC News My worry here is how long before digital affecting physical attacks made by hackers starts to target the individual. I dont mean to give any ideas and I hope they never read this but how long before someone gets a call saying "we've hacked your relatives life support systems in the hospital give us money or we turn it off" "Benjamin Sonntag, a software developer and digital rights activist, told Reuters: "We do not expect a nuclear power plant or steel plant to be connected to the internet." i know the internet of things is generally speaking a good idea in the advancement of human kind but aren't there certain things that just shouldn't be connected? your thoughts?

Posted December 23, 2014 They should probably train their employees more about ''how to act on the internet''. As this has nothing to do with a real hack, its just basic phishing.

Posted December 23, 2014 I am surprised this is news given people have been talking about security bugs in power plants, steel works and oil rigs for years now. I remember an article from about 5 years ago that detailed several nuclear plants connected to the net without any real security. Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.

Funny how something as potentially dangerous as that is that slow to be noticed by more people. Clearly Ubisoft's screw ups and making fun of <brand> is more important here.

Posted December 23, 2014 But I've one doubt... why the fuck do they need to be connected to the internet? So, when there's a meltdown it'll tweet out, "Run." In all honesty, if it were connected to the web they'd like have it connected by fiber to a real-time data center to monitor things both remotely and on site collecting data on nuclear reactors. Why it would be connected to the -entire- net is beyond me, same thing for steel works or oil rigs. Unless employee breaks are for CS;GO and Dota match's. *Imagines Valve lunch time* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 23, 2014 But I've one doubt... why the fuck do they need to be connected to the internet? Because the internet is the cheapest, easiest, already established network that can connect any number of devices, workshops, sensors remote tools offices and control rooms together. All can be monitored remotely by any supervisor, technician or manager from anywhere in the world. Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.

Posted December 23, 2014 Your HR and marketing deps need net access. They will be most likely connected to the intranet. You will have options of remote workers. You will have bored engineers overseeing the process for thousends of hours before they actively need to do something more than surfing net and playong hearthstone.... You could have done whithou those things and be extremely inefficient, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
