Meanwhile, industrial control system (ICS) networks are still struggling to update their security practices due to the perceived absence of threats and rarity of real-world ICS attacks. Recent reports suggest that ICS networks may be the next domain that ransomware is targeting but, to date, all attacks have simply used standard ransomware against personal computers with limited effect. In this work, we develop the first known version of ransomware that targets programmable logic controllers, discuss the economic implications of such an attack, and lay out a generic framework for ICS ransomware to aid in future study and defenses.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003EBIO\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; |\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003Cstrong\u003EDavid Formby\u003C\/strong\u003E is a Ph.D. Candidate in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, performing research in the area of network security for industrial control systems under Dr. Raheem Beyah.
