Five U.S. federal agencies issued a joint advisory this week warning of an active hacking campaign against Siemens S7 Series programmable logic controllers. The advisory, CISA AA26-231A, is co-signed by NSA, FBI, DOE, and EPA and covers every S7 generation, from the S7-200 to the S7-1500 F-series safety controllers.
The advisory is direct about one thing from the first paragraph: this is not a theoretical risk.
