Solar panels that make electricity suitable for the power grid can be easily hacked, remotely disabled or compromised for DDoS attacks

Spain and Portugal failed to get emergency power from France ’s nuclear grid.

Wind and solar energy are inherently unreliable; the sun sets and winds abate, at which point power production ceases.

Solar panels that make electricity suitable for the power grid can be “easily hacked, remotely disabled or compromised for DDoS [Distributed Denial of Service] attacks.

The Volt Typhoon group, linked to China , has been identified as a major cyber threat to U.S. utilities.

They use “living-off-the-land“ techniques, exploiting existing infrastructure rather than deploying obvious malware, making detection difficult.

These attacks highlight China ’s long-term cyber strategy, which focuses on infiltrating critical infrastructure.
