EV Charging Stations Still Riddled With Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities

EV charging stations are an expanding IoT attack surface: the report outlines multiple security weaknesses (including authentication flaws and remote code execution vulnerabilities), historical compromises and data exposures (eg. prank defacements and a patched Shell database leak), and the broader risk to payments, user identities, and the power grid; it concludes with discussion of vendor security shortfalls and emerging regulatory and certification efforts in the US and Europe.
