Hackopedia Volume 1:
23 Times an OT Network Hack was 100% Preventable

The OT Hacks That Easily Defeated Firewalls, Air Gaps, and VPNs

For over a decade, we've watched the same nightmare play out again and again:

Ukraine's blackouts. Colonial Pipeline. Oldsmar water. JBS meat. Toyota's shutdown. And 18 more legendary OT breaches that cost billions and shook critical infrastructure to its core.

They all had one thing in common:

The attackers didn't need zero-days or nation-state tools.

They just needed visibility or access. Your exposed OT assets sitting there, waiting to be found. Your passwords, stolen in a phishing campaign.

Firewalls couldn't hide them. Air gaps weren't real. VPNs became the front door.
