Hackers Threaten Sunny Days: Solar Systems’ Security Under Siege!
Hackers could potentially black out entire regions by exploiting security flaws in smart solar systems. As more rooftops go solar, hackers are finding it alarmingly easy to access and control power systems, putting national grids at risk. The reliance on default passwords isn’t helping—it’s like leaving the front door wide open!
Hot Take:
Looks like hackers have found a new way to bring the heat with solar energy, and it’s not by sunbathing! These digital daredevils are turning our sunny saviors into ticking time bombs. Imagine the sun giving you a tan and a blackout at the same time. Talk about a power outage with a side of Vitamin D!
Key Points:
- Hackers have exposed vulnerabilities in smart solar systems, posing risks to national power grids.
- Weak or default passwords make solar plants easy targets for cyber threats.
- Experts warn that manipulating solar power inputs could cause widespread blackouts.
- Solarman PV’s software vulnerabilities could allow attackers to control inverter settings.
- Pro-Russian hacktivists and state actors have targeted EU energy infrastructure.
