In honour of Data Privacy Day, here is today's Cybersecurity fun fact!
Did you know that...
"Security experts created “Project HoneyTrain” as a simulated subway control system to identify what hackers would attack and how. Over six weeks, there were 2.7 million access attempts against the firewalls, CCTV and media servers. In a couple of instances, hackers were able to access the train control systems as well. The project, along with recent cyber-attacks on rail networks, proves hackers possess the knowledge to effectively target critical infrastructure." (Bais, 2020)
