Train Hack Gets Proper Attention After 20 Years: Researcher . . . The US cybersecurity agency CISA has disclosed a vulnerability that can be exploited to manipulate or tamper with a train’s brakes CISA last week published an advisory describing CVE-2025-1727, an issue affecting the remote linking protocol used by systems known as End-of-Train and Head-of-Train
Critical cyber flaw linked to EoT module ignored in US rail . . . A critical cybersecurity vulnerability affecting American train systems has gone unaddressed for over a decade, despite early warnings dating back to 2012 The issue, tied to End-of-Train (EoT) modules that transmit telemetry data wirelessly from the rear to the front of freight trains, was first identified by hardware security researcher Neils
Hackers Can Remotely Trigger the Brakes on American Trains . . . Many trains in the U S are vulnerable to a hack that can remotely lock a train’s brakes, according to the U S Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the researcher who discovered the vulnerability
‘FRED’ Security FAIL — Ignored by US Rail for 20 YEARS Freight trains in the U S use a radio link between front and rear, designed around 40 years ago It’s emerged that the Flashing Rear End Device (FRED) can be told to slam on the brakes via an extremely weak wireless protocol The latest researcher to signal the problem says, “You could shutdown the entire railway system ”
US railroad industrys outdate radio protocol is vulnerable You could remotely take control over a train's brake controller from a very long distance You could induce brake failure leading to derailments or you could shut down the entire national railway system
