  • CAlling the Mothership - remote control by the CCCP?

    From k9zw@700:100/37 to All on Wed May 28 13:19:44 2025
    Widely reported, albeit without specific examples, are several of the CCCP controlled companies undocumented control/monitor/kill switches in solar inverters and in large industrial batteries.

    The large industrial batteries are claimed to have undocumented embedded cellular communication equipment.

    How widespread is this and what are the risks?

    How do we mitigate the situation?

    Expect this is nothing new?

    ... How do I set my laser printer to stun?

    I work in the BESS space (Battery/hybrid solar storage) and the
    operations guys go over battery systems closely. I think it'd be hard
    to sneak in a cellular system inside of a metal case.

    They'd still need to register with a cell tower somehow to communicate
    unless there was some way of doing point-to-point comms via cell?

    Apparently the batteries of concern are utility company sized things, and the communicators were as much undocumented features that weren't supposed to be there, rather than technological spy-ware sorts of hardware.

    Whether they used cellular or satellite was not detailed.

    I was talking with people in the big equipment scene and they have seen an uptick in unexpected embedded communicators in some classes. The news covered the warf-cranes but it has been seen wider.

    I am not up on CAN-BUSS type technologies, so I don't first hand had any insight into what control could be gained, but it must be enough to risk upsetting end clients?
