Researchers hack Google Australia headquarters building
Researchers have managed to easily hack the building management system of Googles Sydney headquarters.
The researchers from security firm Cylance were able to obtain the password for the control system for the waterfront Pyrmont office, where it could access the system that controls alarms and other building services.
They also accessed blueprints of the floor and roof plans of building, a clear view of water pipes and the location of a kitchen leak. The researchers, Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle were able to hack the system because security flaws in the system that Google uses, Tridium Niagara AX, had not been patched up, despite fixes being available.
