In a shocking revelation that has absolutely no significance in changing our lives whatsoever, cybersecurity researchers have discovered over a dozen security vulnerabilities in the Niagara Framework. The same framework that was lauded for making smart buildings as intelligent as your average potato now comes with its own set of pre-installed hacker attractions. Who knew smart buildings could be so welcoming?

Apparently, if you manage to misconfigure a Niagara system and disable encryption on a specific network device, you too can become the proud owner of a smorgasbord of cyber vulnerabilities. It’s the digital equivalent of leaving your front door wide open with a flashing neon sign that reads, ‘All Hackers Welcome!’ because who needs encryption when you can live life on the edge?

Nozomi Networks Labs, in what we assume is an effort to keep life interesting, assures us these vulnerabilities are ‘fully exploitable.’ So, if you’ve ever dreamed of a side hustle as a cyber-criminal or just want to spice up your day-to-day operations with random acts of data breaches, the Niagara Framework has you covered.
