A hacker or hackers managed to use a smart aquarium to gain access to a casino, according to a company report better safetys.
According with CNN, the aquarium was used as an entry point, allowing the intruders to move in network. Through the aquarium they managed to send data to Finland before the Darktrace security company managed to stop them.
The name of the casino with the aquarium has not been made known, although the con-founder of security company Darktrace Mr. Dave Palmer had said something similar in an interview he gave last year:
We have seen "insiders" crack data from organizations that are heavily protected by attacks on digitally connected aquariums. Who connects their aquarium to the Internet? So it turns out that a lot of people do.
It is very likely that he was referring to a separate incident, as evidenced by the plural number of "aquariums".
Palmer reported the story to Financial News London. αναφερόταν σε έξυπνα ενυδρεία που υπήρχαν στην υποδοχή μιας εταιρείας πληρωμών και συναλλαγών. Κάποιος αποθηκεύτηκε δεδομένα στην εσωτερική μνήμη of the aquariums and then used their connection to move the data outside the building.
