Original: Folge wäre „auf jeden Fall ein # Blackout “ gewesen: # Hacker hätte hunderttausende Solaranlagen in Deutschland lahmlege
Security researchers report a vulnerability that would have allowed hackers to take control of hundreds of thousands of solar power installations across Germany at once. Experts warn the consequence could have been a large-scale blackout, highlighting how little-protected internet-connected energy equipment poses a risk to the national grid. The flaw has reignited debate about security standards for renewable energy infrastructure and smart home devices in Germany.
Why now: The disclosure that a single vulnerability could have triggered a nationwide blackout has alarmed the public and raised questions about the security of Germany's energy infrastructure.
