Researchers have released two new exploits that attack common design vulnerabilities in a computer component used to control critical infrastructure, such as refineries and factories.

The exploits would allow someone to hack the system in a manner similar to how the Stuxnet worm attacked nuclear centrifuges in Iran, a hack that stunned the security world with its sophistication and ability to use digital code to create damage in the physical world.

There's good news for people who love bad news about the security of industrial control systems. At the SCADA Security Scientific Symposium (S4) in Miami Beach in January, there were a host of new security vulnerabilities unearthed in popular programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, the devices and software that are used to control all manner of critical infrastructure and industrial plants.
