The Censys 2024 State of the Internet preview reports extensive Internet exposure of ICS services and HMIs—identifying over 148,000 ICS services and ~7,700 exposed HMIs across many countries—highlighting weak/default authentication, legacy/insecure protocols (Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, CODESYS, OPC UA), concentration in water/wastewater, and active scanning that increases likelihood of compromise; it urges operators to avoid Internet-facing ICS/HMIs, remove default credentials, and use real-time internet intelligence.
