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.
Solar Panels Cordon Press. U.S. energy officials have found "unexplained" communications equipment inside some Chinese-made inverter devices, according to a report by Reuters published Wednesday. The document reveals the presence of unauthorized and fraudulent communication devices in several Chinese-made solar power inverters.
However, rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues, the two people said.
The document reveals the presence of unauthorized and fraudulent communication devices in several Chinese-made solar power inverters. These could introduce unregulated and undocumented remote communication channels into the inverters, through which an attacker could remotely bypass cybersecurity firewalls used by utilities.
