Friday News and Notes
Being up in Canada the last two weeks I’m hearing a lot about the 3 pipeline bombings in BC. Ecoterrorism at work here as an anonymous writer warned “Encana and all other oil and gas interests” to close down operations near where the explosions took place. Even called the oil and gas companies “terrorists”. Local residents are getting increasingly worried.
A reader pointed out that the two-day SANS SCADA Security Summit on Feb 2-3 costs $1,945. Very pricey for information and presentations you would see at many other free or much lower cost venues. If money is tight in your organization I would recommend waiting a few months until PCSF 2009.
Another control system exploit released for the Metasploit framework. This time for the GE Fanuc Proficy Information Portal vulnerability that Eyal Udassin presented at S4 this year. The exploit had been passed around a couple of weeks before becoming public. The amusing side of this is that Digital Bond alumni Matt Franz is listed as the author in the code. He claims no part of this, so is it an homage to Matt or trying to get him in trouble?
