"EV Charging Stations Still Riddled With Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities"

The growing popularity of Electric Vehicles (EVs) attracts not only gas-conscious consumers but also cybercriminals interested in using EV charging stations to conduct large-scale cyberattacks. Charging points, whether in a private garage or on a public parking lot, are online and running software that interacts with payment systems and the electric grid. They also store driver identities. Therefore, charging stations pose significant cybersecurity risks. Researchers from Check Point Software and SaiFlow highlighted issues such as unprotected Internet connectivity, poor encryption, a lack of network segmentation, unmanaged energy assets, and more. This article continues to discuss cybersecurity vulnerabilities faced by EV charging stations.
