Because you really need to connect EVERYTHING to the internet...

From the post:

>Ten vulnerabilities in Copeland controllers, which are found in thousands of devices used by the world's largest supermarket chains and cold storage companies, could have allowed miscreants to manipulate temperatures and spoil food and medicine, leading to massive supply-chain disruptions. The flaws, collectively called Frostbyte10, affect Copeland E2 and E3 controllers, used to manage critical building and refrigeration systems, such as compressor groups, condensers, walk-in units, HVAC, and lighting systems. Three received critical-severity ratings.

I simple idea would be to not control your stores from refrigerators to air conditioning from the home officed states away, get that shit off line and quit being bean counting control freaks. Imagine shutting down stores in the north before christmas by turning off the heat and on the AC at for instance a wallmart that would cost millions a day or shutting down the cash registers or shutting off all the coolers or disabling the automatic doors.

Shit this has always been an accident waiting to happen and all management just keeps their mouth shut because some other upper managers says it saves money till a hacker decides to cost them millions on a highest grossing holiday shopping day. This was so predictatble but they have to control everything so they have a hacker who controls everything then never take the blame for setting up the business to have a hacker going out of business day. This should not be covered by insurance if they keep it all online/vulnerable.

An essential optic line can shut down all the cash registers unless they are connected by store satellite directly and that could be days or more and might take the entire store down since it's all computerized connected.

I was yelling about SCADA being directly internet connected over 20 years ago. No one learned. They still have not learned.

You would be shocked to see how much shit you can get access to (sometimes still with the default usernames/passwords).

Are those the motor controllers that Iran uses to refine plutonium that got hacked a few years back?

SCADA = supervisory control and data acquisition

Yes, technically they would probably be considered that. Think of it as anything "industrial controls" related. You know, everything used in power plants, manufacturing, chemical/gas/etc production... It's everywhere. It's in every part of every major industry. Hell, its even in a MRI machine.
