Hidden Communication Devices in Chinese Solar Equipment Raise Global Security Concerns

American researchers have found "unauthorized communication devices" in Chinese inverters. These inverters control solar installations and can even turn them off remotely, via the internet. Firewalls are supposed to protect them from cyber attacks. But the suspicious transmitters could bypass these firewalls, the Americans claim. As a result, hostile hackers or countries could shut down millions of inverters and cause major power outages.
