"Federico Maggi will never forget the first time he saw a crane being hacked. Last March, he was on a strange kind of road trip. Traveling the Lombardi region of Italy with his colleague Marco Balduzzi in a red Volkswagen Polo, the pair hoped to convince construction site managers, who they’d never met or spoken with before, to let them have a crack at taking control of cranes with their hacking tools.
Over the coming days and weeks, the researchers, who ply their trade at Japanese cybersecurity giant Trend Micro, became professional “crane spotters.” Able to detect potentially vulnerable machines on site, they embarked on an unprecedented hacking trip.
They cajoled their way into 14 locations where they were allowed to hack into devices that not only controlled cranes but excavators, scrapers and other large machinery. In every case, their preprepared attack code worked."
