To manage aspects such as configuration, payment and power management, public charging stations are almost always connected to the internet. While this connectivity facilitates the management and configuration of charging stations, it also introduces cyber security risks. A large-scale cyber-attack on EV charging stations could even enable an attacker to destabilize the power grid and cause blackouts. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A security-conscious charging point operator (CPO) will, of course, ensure that charging stations cannot be accessed directly from the internet by securing them within a private network. However, access to this private network is in many cases not even required to access internal services of the charging station. During Hardwear.io, a cyber security conference focused around hardware devices, ElaadNL demonstrated that a charging station&#8217;s internal services can often be accessed over the charging cable, effectively circumventing all network protection implemented by CPOs. This vulnerability allows for a direct cyber-attack on charging stations without requiring access to a CPO&#8217;s private network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EV charging infrastructure is becoming more and more prevalent in our society.
