Hi All

Yes, we know the CCPA 2018 and SB-327 Connected Devices legislation is out there, but when will the actual vendors take heed?  https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities---threats/aftermath-of-a-major-ics-hacking-contest/d/d-i...

Competitions like this certainly do raise awareness. I hope that all involved work for good.

@AppDefects    Well lets hope there is an ethical element, because as sure as "eggs", there will be a host of international countries with less than ethical missions certainly contemplating or testing others critical infrastructure for real this year and onwards.  I certainly like the openness of competitions rather than the surprise and shock factor, when suddenly the power goes off or the lifts failure in the latest Smart Building or something happens to the latest cool technologically advance automobile.   Could such attack be perceived as an act of war?
