Sorry but really? People 'hacking' water pumps? I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Seriously, what the fuck.
They broke something by turning it off and on really quickly?
Dear god they've DoS'ed a physical object :v:
It's funny because water pumps are internet connected for no reason.
Oh shit hackers on steroids
EVERYONE BUY A DOG

My old school had their heating and fire alarms connected to the main network for some reason. Fun times were had.
Woops, sorry about that, didn't see this thread.
Yeah, disturbing news to say the least, more of a precursor than anything else.

Remote monitoring/management?
I am glad they do it now so that it won't happen in the future when we need it the most.
Next they'll be hacking our door handles :tinfoil:

Error in-front of screen, please remove.

PLC's are apparently easier to configure when interfaced with ethernet instead of having their own dedicated circuits, because it's cheaper to do.
Unfortunately it leaves them at the mercy of whoever or whatever keeps the network secure.
