Critical ICS/SCADA Vulnerabilities Flagged in Des Moines — Contact-Center and Knowledge-Worker Operations Footprint at Risk
Two severity-10 advisories have been flagged for Des Moines targeting OpenPLC v3 and Digi International PortServer/One SP IA — industrial control and serial-device-server products whose compromise can disrupt building systems, network access, and physical infrastructure underpinning contact-center and knowledge-worker sites. Des Moines carries approximately 11,270 contact-center seats, 22,410 back-office seats, and 55,950 knowledge-worker seats, making facility-level disruption a credible operational risk. Operations leaders should confirm whether any managed sites or co-located facilities rely on these devices, engage IT/OT security teams for patch status, and review business-continuity plans for affected locations.
