The FBI issued an alert after unknown attackers used Shodan to find an internet-exposed Tridium Niagara AX HVAC control system at a New Jersey company, logged in via a publicly disclosed backdoor administrative account, and accessed the control GUI; ICS-CERT and Tridium released advisories and patches for vulnerabilities (credential file disclosure, directory traversal, weak session/session ID generation) affecting many installed systems worldwide.
