Dozens of solar inverter flaws could be exploited to attack power grids

Dozens of vulnerabilities in products from three leading makers of solar inverters, Sungrow, Growatt, and SMA, could be exploited to control devices or execute code remotely on the vendor's cloud platform.

A dark side to solar power inverters

Researchers in the US have uncovered vulnerabilities in the inverters and cloud services used for residential solar power systems. These inverters could be compromised and used to launch the equivalent of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack to being down a national electricity grid. Solar power is rapidly becoming essential elements of power grids […] The post A dark side to solar power inverters appeared first on eeNews Europe.

Network security provider finds cyber vulnerabilities with three major inverter manufacturers

Renewable energy sources, including solar power systems, are rapidly becoming essential elements of power grids throughout the world — especially in the U.S. and Europe. However, cybersecurity for these systems is often an afterthought, creating a growing risk to grid security, stability and availability. New research from network security solution provider Forescout found an insecure ecosystem… The post Network security provider finds cyber vul…

46 New Vulnerabilities In Solar Inverter Systems Allow Attackers To Tamper With Settings - Cybernoz - Cybersecurity News

Forescout Vedere Labs has uncovered 46 new vulnerabilities in solar power systems, primarily affecting inverters from three leading manufacturers Sungrow, Growatt, and SMA. These flaws, if exploited, could enable attackers to manipulate inverter settings, disrupt power grids, and compromise user privacy. The research highlights that 80% of vulnerabilities disclosed in solar systems over the past three years were rated high or critical severity, …
