They've tended to bring in a whole infrastructure to manage heating and cooling for an entire campus, then run it from an unsecured desktop that has full internet access. In the case of simple campus HVAC, the hacker could heat/cool the buildings or other misc. misdeeds, but no real harm would be done. <BR/><BR/>Iconics appears to dabble in building security though, and even uses the Pentagon as a reference. I can see why that might be an application worth targeting.Michael Jankehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00357905802460949707noreply@blogger.com
