In an unprecedented move to champion the ‘open-access’ ideology, Red Lion RTUs are practically inviting hackers to enjoy the joyride of full industrial control. After all, what’s the point of having a remote terminal unit if you can’t share it with the world?

With CVSS 10.0 rated vulnerabilities known as CVE-2023-40151 and CVE-2023-42770, Red Lion products now boast exclusive access for tech enthusiasts keen on experiencing privilege escalation like never before. Forget visiting a theme park; the real thrill lies in controlling industrial systems from the comfort of your basement.

Experts say this is a wakeup call for industries to stop relying on outdated RTUs. But, why change what works perfectly for cybercriminals? After all, no one’s more committed to keeping systems up-to-date than a hacker with time on their hands and an internet connection.
