Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a proof-of-concept malware demonstrating the threat of remote attacks on PLCs with embedded web servers, a common component in ICS within critical infrastructure. The malware can manipulate outputs, falsify sensor readings, and disable safety systems, potentially causing devastating effects. It leverages web-based vulnerabilities, offering platform independence and persistence, unlike traditional PLC malware that targets firmware or control logic.
