One or more hackers managed to use a smart aquarium to gain access to a casino, according to a security company report.
According to with CNN, the aquarium was used as a point of entry, allowing the intruders to move around in the Network. Through the aquarium they managed to send data to Finland before the security company Darktrace managed to stop them.
The name of the casino with the aquarium has not been made public, although the co-founder of the security company Darktrace Mr. Dave Palmer had mentioned something similar in an interview last year:
We have seen "insiders" crunching data from organizations that are heavily protected by attacks on digitally connected aquariums. Who connects their aquarium to the Internet? Well it turns out a lot of people do.
It is very likely that he was referring to a separate incident, as evidenced by the plural number of "aquariums".
Palmer reported the story in Financial News London. referred to smart aquariums that existed in the reception of a payment and transaction company. Someone stored data in the internal memory of the aquariums and then used their connection to move the data outside the building.
