Hi all
They took complete remote control of the system and upped the caustic soda from the normal 100 parts per million to 11,100 parts per million.
Their SCADA control system was accessed via TeamViewer which had been installed and they left the default password in place.
Also quoting: "Further, all computers shared the same password for remote access and appeared to be connected directly to the Internet without any type of firewall protection installed."
And they were using Windows 7 which is well past any security updates.
So you can't really say that anybody broke in :-)
