to larger wide area network (WAN) configurations connecting remote
facilities to central monitoring systems,=E2=80=9D the group wrote in an
advisory (PDF) published on Thursday. =E2=80=9CThese systems have been found to
be readily accessible from the internet and with tools, such as Shodan,
the resources required to identify them has been greatly reduced.=E2=80=9D
