Stuxnet was developed for targeted attacks intended to distribute the virus within plants running with PCS7 or WinCC. The Stuxnet virus uses the following weak points:

• Stuxnet uses Windows vulnerability
• Stuxnet modifies PLC units by changing the PLC code
• Stuxnet knows the hard-coded data to get access to the WinCC data base “without authentication”

The ProLeiT process control systems Plant iT and brewmaxx do not use hard-coded accounts and passwords. Every Windows account and password of the Plant iT or brewmaxx systems can be changed by an administrator.
