re: #392 Obdicut

Yesterday, you said pr0f was taking credit for the attack, which is untrue.

I’m honestly confused. Is he not taking credit? I pointed that out yesterday and as far as I can tell today he’s still taking credit for it. I thought we were all in agreement that.
Foreign hackers hit public water system

Meanwhile, a hacker has told the tech website CNET he hacked into a South Houston water utility to show it can easily be done, after officials downplayed the Illinois cyber attack.

The hacker, using the alias ”pr0f”, said he has hacked other SCADA systems, too.

Then he provided screenshots of what looked like diagrams of water and waste water treatment facilities in South Houston, Texas.

Asked how he broke into systems, pr0f said: ”As for how I did it, it’s usually a combination of poor configuration of services, bad password choice and no restrictions on who can access the interfaces.”

He admits to hacking into various utilities and cites the one in Huston specifically.
