Active Threat to Siemens S7 Series PLCs: AI-Generated Exploitation Scripts
Unattributed threat actors are actively targeting exposed Siemens S7 Series PLCs across critical infrastructure sectors using AI-generated exploitation scripts. The threat actors are leveraging AI to build and refine exploit scripts faster than manual development would allow, lowering the technical bar for ICS attacks. There is no single patch, and mitigation depends on removing Siemens S7 Series PLCs from direct internet exposure, segmenting OT from IT networks, and hardening access controls.
