The program’s director at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) told Congress today that government funding for a program that hunts for threats on America’s critical infrastructure networks expired on Sunday, shutting down all work on the program.

Researchers discovered nearly 35,000 solar power systems from 42 vendors that have exposed management interfaces. This includes devices like power inverters, data loggers, monitors, etc. The researchers found nearly 50 vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Most of these […]

Mostly, that was just because we were lucky. A bug in a TLS certificate (used to implement HTTPS) allowed researchers to view the water system control panel in hundreds of public […]

Back in the dark ages, I worked on a team that developed the first first GPS system – for the Air Force. It was not designed to help you find the nearest Starbucks, but rather to protect Air Force personnel from our […]
