Cybersecurity of SmartGrid
summary
Research shows Internet-exposed SmartGrid gear with reproducible flaws: 65,000 Solar-Log inverters exposed and about 80,000 SMA WebBox instances with default or hard-coded passwords, firmware update and backup routines allowing remote file replacement, and a Nordex wind portal that reveals roughly 1 gigawatt of control surface per instance with known web‑server exploits. The team publishes tools for IEC 61850/relay testing, coordinates responsible disclosure, and documents cloud SCADA misconfigurations that let a single bug reach thousands of distributed generators.
