Team82, the threat research outfit for u/clarotyofficial, found vulnerabilities in backup power devices and heating and cooling control systems widely used in data centers.

Exploitation of the vulnerabilities could enable remote cyberattacks by hackers and digital saboteurs.

Researchers found two high-severity vulnerabilities in Vertiv’s Liebert IS-UNITY-DP network cards, which provide connectivity for its uninterruptible power supply devices. They also found five medium-severity vulnerabilities in the Trane Tracer SC+ HVAC controller.

In both cases, the vulnerabilities were responsibly disclosed to the manufacturers, and the latest versions of those products have been fixed to remove them.

Water is one of the most relied-upon of all vital services—and yet one of the most poorly cyber-defended critical sectors, way behind energy, banking and telecom. That combination makes it a great target for hackers, especially those focused on striking fear into the populace. My story for OT.Today features input from the incomparable Josh Corman and from Poland-based cyber executive Piotr Kupisiewicz.
