New York City agency pushes plan to prevent cyberattacks on elevators, boilers
What would happen if an attacker broke into the network for the industrial control systems for New York City’s elevators and boiler systems and decided to disrupt them?
“You could increase the speed of how elevators go up or down,” says Steve Ramirez, business analyst, analysis and communications in the Office of the CIO of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), which provides public housing for low- to moderate-income families in the five boroughs of the city. And if attackers ever successfully penetrated the network-based industrial control systems (ICS) for the boilers, they could raise the heat levels for municipal boilers, causing them to explode.
