Cybersecurity lessons have not been learnt from the dawn of othertechnological industries. In robotics, the existing insecurity landscape needsto be addressed immediately. Several manufacturers profiting from the lack ofgeneral awareness are systematically ignoring their responsibilities byclaiming their insecure (open) systems facilitate system integration,disregarding the safety, privacy and ethical consequences that their (lack of)actions have. In an attempt to raise awareness and illustrate the "insecurityby design in robotics" we have created Akerbeltz, the first known instance ofindustrial robot ransomware. Our malware is demonstrated using a leading brandfor industrial collaborative robots, Universal Robots. We describe therationale behind our target and discuss the general flow of the attackincluding the initial cyber-intrusion, lateral movement and later controlphase. We urge security researchers to adopt some sort of disclosure policythat forces manufacturers to react promptly. We advocate against security byobscurity and encourage the release of similar actions once vulnerabilityreports fall into a dead-end. Actions are now to be taken to abide a futurefree of zero-days for robotics.
