Cryptocurrency-mining Windows malware has been found for the first time on a network of industrial control systems (ICS) at an operational treatment plant for a water utility. Radiflow, a security provider for critical infrastructure, made the discovery recently. Initial investigations suggest that the malware arrived via malicious advertising viewed in a web browser on a machine responsible for the ICS's Human Machine Interface (HMI). So really this story is about three problems.

The term "compromised" is wholly redundant when talking about a Windows system.

Nice to see that the Mightery Bussard is also free, as in not just 50% free, or 90% free, or even 99% free, but full on Free Software Foundation Free. We all praise the TMB.
