Cataloging IoT Vulnerabilities

Recent articles about IoT vulnerabilities describe hacking of construction cranes, supermarket freezers, and electric scooters...

Hacking Construction Cranes

Construction cranes are vulnerable to hacking: In our research and vulnerability discoveries, we found that weaknesses in the controllers can be easily taken advantage of to move full-sized machines such as cranes used in construction sites and factories. In the different attack classes that we'v...

IoT Flaw Allows Hijacking of Connected Construction Cranes

A connected construction crane, from Telecrane, has a vulnerability that would allow cyberattackers to intercept its communications and take the equipment over. The internet of things IoT continues to add new types of objects to its footprint, as industries start leveraging connectivity to increa...

Security Vulnerability in Internet-Connected Construction Cranes

This seems bad: The F25 software was found to contain a capture replay vulnerability -- basically an attacker would be able to eavesdrop on radio transmissions between the crane and the controller, and then send their own spoofed commands over the air to seize control of the crane. "These devices...
