When I’m done choking on bile/have some time next week, I will write a more balanced piece. I have a loathing for the “Can’t sleep, smart grid will eat me. Can’t sleep smart grid will eat me” reporting that the mainstream media has been leaning on. That being said, the Reuters piece references sound research from some very bright folks. Mind you the article’s opening salvo…anyway.
From Reuters:
Worried about the security of the Smart Grid? You should be. Security researchers warn that the Smart Grid could become a hacker’s playground. As proof, here are four ways the Smart Grid can be hacked.
Technology Review has an excellent article outlining ways in which the Smart Grid is vulnerable. Here, based on the article, are four ways it can be hacked via the smart meters that will be in businesses and people’s homes.
The piece goes on to reference research by the likes of Travis Goodspeed and others. I had a brief chat with Travis at Black Hat and found him to be a very intelligent, nice guy. Not sure how he rocks the dreads everyday but, different strokes and all that.
Getting off topic. Anyway, in order to see ways to hack the smart grid for fun and profit follow the article link.
