"Researchers Found They Could Hack Entire Wind Farms"

Researchers from the University of Tulsa have discovered that wind farms are susceptible to being hacked with the use of a Raspberry Pi minicomputer. With the authorization of wind energy companies, these researchers have conducted a number of penetration tests on five different wind farms throughout the U.S. in order to bring attention to vulnerabilities of this type of energy production. This article further discusses how researchers demonstrated the exploitation of such vulnerabilities, potential consequences of these exploitations, where details of these vulnerabilities will be presented, and reactions from major wind farm suppliers to this research.
