I'm only surprised that they've only found the one.
I also don't find this (from the article) an especially surprising coincidence, what with Doppelmayr being the worlds largest ski lift manufacturer...

Coincidences don't stop here, as both the Patscherkofelbahn and Gudauri ski lifts were from the same vendor, local Austrian firm Doppelmayr. |

Not the only problem with that lift either
Too expensive, badly placed so the föhn shuts it down 2-3 days every week (causes big problems according to friends who ski instruct there, as most of the other old lifts were removed when they built it, and the destroyed the view from a lovely old hut by plonking the new top station down right in front of it.

I would not be surprised if there are a lot more lifts that have not had their factory default passwords changed. That happens regularly in general business systems, even in companies with reasonably sophisticated computer security practices and tools.
In the end, it is possible to hack pretty much anything that is connected to a network. It is just a question of time, effort, and resources.
