Hack the Grid. Disclosing vulnerabilities to help prevent blackouts
Chris van 't Hof, Frank Breedijk, Wietse Boonstra
The European electricity network has become a ‘smart grid.’ This offers many opportunities for sustainability but also makes our energy system more vulnerable to digital attacks. DIVD has been conducting research into vulnerabilities in charging stations, solar panel inverters, home batteries, and Energy Management Systems. In this talk, we will demonstrate how we could have generated power outages using these zero-days and how we prevent this by disclosing them responsibly.
