Security Weaknesses Exposed in EV Systems
EV Charging Infrastructure Offers an Electric Cyberattack Opportunity
As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows in the United States, cybersecurity firm Saiflow has identified vulnerabilities in the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) that could be exploited for a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack or to steal sensitive information. The Idaho National Laboratory also found that every EV charger it examined was running outdated versions of Linux, had unnecessary services, and allowed many services to run as root. The Biden administration aims to increase the number of vehicle chargers to 500,000 by 2030, but cybersecurity experts worry that the rush to create a comprehensive charging infrastructure could come at the expense of cybersecurity.

EV Charging Management System Vulnerabilities Allow Disruption, Energy Theft
Vulnerabilities could let hackers remotely shut down EV chargers, steal electricity
Cybersecurity firm Saiflow has identified two vulnerabilities in a commonly used networking protocol for electric vehicle chargers that could allow hackers to remotely shut down charging stations or manipulate them to recharge for free. The company has warned that the EV industry has been slow to deploy the update to fix these vulnerabilities. The flaws highlight the growing concern around cybersecurity in the EV industry, particularly as the US government prioritises building infrastructure for electric cars. The vulnerabilities affect the open charge point protocol (OCPP) used by most chargers to communicate between charging stations and management systems.
