Dieselgate, but for trains – some heavyweight hardware hacking
badcyber.comThis article is about fixing, but with a twist - it's about fixing trains that their manufacturer sabotaged. :D
In Poland, it took the hacker crew "Dragon Sector" months of work to find a software "time bomb" that was sabotaging "Impuls" trains manufactured by Newag, once their maintenance was handed over to another company.
Let this be a reminder to everyone about closed source technology and critical infrastructure.
