Lots of dots

Per this article:  http://bit.ly/1gJA0yu at Tofino and Bob Radvanovsky:

  • over 1,000,000 ICS/SCADA devices connected to the Internet discovered so far
  • discovering approximately 5,000 new ICS/SCADA connected devices/day

Device types include, but not limited to:

  • manufacturing/production control systems
  • medical devices
  • traffic management systems
  • traffic light control/traffic cameras
  • HVAC & building management systems
  • security/access control to include video/audio surveillance
  • data radios

and to keep it interesting, also found these connected to the Internet:

  • off-road mining trucks
  • crematoriums

In many cases, a web interface is enabled with default credentials in place.

I believe 1,000,000 is only a fraction of Internet-connected embedded/ICS/SCADA devices and that the rate of growth of new connections is way faster than anything that we saw in the PC days.
