"Cyber-Attack on Solar Panels Could Shut Down Power Grids via Domino Effect"
New research by Dutch security engineer, Willem Westerhof, reveals the presence of vulnerabilities within photovoltaic panels, which could have an extensive impact on a country’s power grids. Westerhof claims that the vulnerabilities of photovoltaic panels sold by SMA, could allow an attacker to inflict damage onto the functionality of a solar power plant and potentially disable a country’s power grid in a domino effect. This article further discusses the discovery of these vulnerabilities and the major threats they pose to a nation’s power supply.
