Threat Score
Researchers describe Bit2Watt, a proof-of-concept cyber-physical attack in which authorized GPU workloads are manipulated to create high-frequency power swings that can induce harmonic distortion, negative damping, and cascading failures in datacenters and supporting electrical grids; they also demonstrate a side-channel exfiltration method (Watt2Bit) and recommend cross-domain defenses and local energy buffering to mitigate the risk.
