Security flaw could have let attackers switch off thousands of solar inverters

A German security researcher has published work on a vulnerability in widely used solar inverters that could have allowed unauthorized parties to switch off hundreds of thousands of solar installations. She shared a visualization mapping the affected systems, commenting that it looks almost pretty despite showing the scale of the potential damage. The flaw has since been addressed at the top of her latest report.

Why now: The scale of the affected solar installations raises fresh concerns about the cybersecurity of Germany's energy infrastructure.
