Poor BMS installation leaves systems vulnerable to hacking

摘要

Cyber-security experts have revealed that poor BMS installation continues to leave the systems vulnerable to hacking. This, say the 'ethical hackers', from consultancy group Pen Test Partners, risks the scenario of an attacker taking control of system's to cause disruption, to trigger fire alarms, to open or shut doors and potentially get on to the IT network itself in vulnerable buildings such as government or military sites. Beyond the security risk, such hacking could simply shut off the AC in any number of buildings controlled by BMS.
