Why windfarms need to step up cyber security
Researchers from the University of Tulsa reported that it took less than a minute of lock-picking on one unsupervised turbine's door to gain access to the unsecured server. From there, the researcher connected the laptops via the server of that singular turbine to instantly access IP addresses representing every single turbine in the network. This is just one example of the vulnerability of windfarms to cyber-attacks.
