China’s public infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber attack because of vulnerabilities in software used to run weapons systems, utilities and chemical plants, according to Reuters.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a warning about the vulnerabilities in software applications from Beijing-based Sunway ForceControl Technology.
The DHS says hackers could exploit the vulnerabilities to launch attacks on critical infrastructure in China and other countries where the software is used, including the US.
