Security researchers have warned that basic security flaws in smart
traffic monitoring systems could allow black hats to change, falsify or
even delete crucial data, potentially creating widespread disruption in
the city.
Kaspersky Lab security researcher, Denis Legezo, highlighted a recent test of Moscow’s smart transportation system – a network of road sensors which gather traffic info to help officials alter traffic flow in real time and make future infrastructure planning decisions.
He revealed several basic security issues which made the system highly vulnerable to hackers.
The first was that the name of the manufacturer was printed clearly on the side of the sensor box.
“Although the research was done in Moscow, devices that could be accessed simply via Bluetooth could be easily found in many cities, as there are at least 135,000 such devices in global circulation,” Legezo claimed.
