U.S. energy officials are reportedly reassessing the security risks posed by Chinese-made components in renewable energy infrastructure after discovering hidden communication
By making it possible to switch off inverters or sabotage grid-tied renewable installations, these backdoors pose a grave cybersecurity risk to U.S. energy infrastructure.
If the rogue communication devices found in the inverters are used to circumnavigate firewalls and change the settings or turn off inverters remotely, this could destabilize power grids,
