Concerns have escalated after the discovery of 'kill switches' in Chinese-made devices critical for energy infrastructure in the West. These peripherals could enable operatives in China to remotely access and control essential systems, potentially leading to widespread energy disruptions. Experts, including cybersecurity officials, emphasize that imported vulnerabilities may extend beyond energy to vital sectors like healthcare and defense. The U.S. energy sector is now reassessing the risks posed by these technologies, amid fears of foreign interference in critical infrastructures through subterfuge and strategic vulnerabilities.
'If a kill switch exists in solar hardware, what else have we imported vulnerabilities into? Healthcare? Defence?'
'This isn't a question of coincidence. It's about long-term strategic positioning. Inserting potential vulnerabilities into exported infrastructure allows for quiet control.'
