U.S. energy officials have launched an investigation after discovering unauthorized communication equipment embedded within Chinese-manufactured solar power inverters connected to critical infrastructure grids across the country.
In a discovery that has sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community, U.S. energy officials have found undocumented "rogue" communication devices hidden inside solar power inverters imported from China.
That has created a vulnerability that suddenly feels more real, as Reuters is reporting that experts have discovered hidden communications equipment in various Chinese-manufactured solar energy parts.
The inverters are devices separate from power sources like solar arrays or batteries. They’re attached to the power sources to convert direct current to alternating current before it’s transferred to the utility grid. The inverters include communication capabilities so technicians can monitor performance and have remote access for maintenance.
