Question

Solar energy company learns of several cyberattacks targeting others companies​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solar power plants have massive numbers of vulnerable internet-connected devices. Its recent focus on cybersecurity is awakening the rest of the renewable energy industry to the threat.

Cyberattacks on energy companies are becoming more common. State-sponsored groups such as Hexane or DragonFly target them routinely to sabotage operations and steal intellectual property (IP) while criminal groups try to extort money with the ransomware attacks like the one that hit Portugal’s Energias de Portugal (EDP) recently.
