A Russian security researcher has unleashed a brute-force password-cracking tool that can capture passwords for Siemens S7 programmable logic controllers (PLC), which run machinery in power plants and ...

Siemens S7 programmable logic controllers, the same PLC family exploited by the Stuxnet malware, are in the crosshairs of a password-cracking tool that is capable of stealing credentials from ...

COMPANY NEWS: Close to 10 years ago, Siemens introduced asymmetric cryptography into the integrated security architecture of its TIA Portal v12 and SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 PLC CPU firmware families. This ...

Security researchers have found a way to extract a global encryption key that was hardcoded in the CPUs of several Siemens programmable logic controller (PLC) product lines, allowing them to ...

Thanks to a plug-in for the widely used Simatic S7 PLCs from Siemens, applications created with version 5.6 of the no-code vision software Merlic from MVTec Software can be more easily integrated into ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that were vulnerable to the Stuxnet attack are still in use globally and rarely have security controls deployed — meaning they're still at risk. More than 10 ...
