The data had already been flowing by the time Darktrace was called in. Once the company's software was monitoring activity, the tank's unusual activity was spotted almost immediately. The tank's communications with the casino's network appeared normal enough. The data it was pumping through to the outside was highly suspect. It was the only casino system that ever sent data to the remote server in Finland that it was communicating with. It also did so using protocols that are normally used for streaming audio or video. Many of the connected devices for sale today are seriously lacking when it comes to security. They're under constant attack from the moment they're hooked up to the Internet and can fall under hacker control within minutes.
