The exponential increase in IoT device usage has spawned numerous cyberspace innovations. IoT devices, sensors, and actuators bridge the gap between physical processes and the cyber network in a cyber-physical system (CPS). Cyber-physical system is a complex system from a security perspective due to the heterogeneous nature of its components and the fact that IoT devices can serve as an entry point for cyberattacks. Most adversaries design their attack strategies on systems to gain an advantage at a relatively lower cost, whereas abusive adversaries initiate an attack to inflict maximum damage without regard to cost or reward. In this paper, a sensor spoofing attack is modelled as a malicious adversary attempting to cause system failure by interfering with the feedback control mechanism. It is accomplished by feeding spoofed sensor values to the controller and issuing erroneous commands to the actuator. Experiments on a Simulink-simulated linear CPS support the proof of concept for the proposed abusive ideology, demonstrating three attack strategies. The impact of the evaluations stresses the importance of testing the CPS security against adversaries with abusive settings for preventing cyber-vandalism. Finally, the research concludes by highlighting the limitations of the proposed work, followed by recommendations for the future.

“…− Actuators: are located at the application layer to make the information visible to the surrounding environment based on the decisions made by the aggregators. Since actuators highly depend on other network nodes, then each action performed by the CPS relies on an earlier data aggregation sequence [5] . Also in terms of operations, actuators process electrical signals as input and generate physical actions as output [46] .…”

“…CPS includes three main central components: sensors, aggregators and actuators. Moreover, CPS systems can sense the surrounding environment, with the ability to adapt and control the physical world [5] . This is mainly attributed to their flexibility and capability to change the run-time of system(s) process(es) through the use of real-time computing [6] .…”

“…They form an important part of the Industrial Internet of Things and play an important role in Industry 4.0 [1]. They can sense world around them and have the ability to adapt to and control the physical world [2]. They closely integrate cyber and physical processes, and exchange data and information in real time.…”
