• NCC Group highlighted research identifying 8,547 internet-exposed systems linked to wind and solar farms as vulnerable to cyberattacks.
• Exposure included 141 systems in the Netherlands, raising the risk profile for renewable energy operators and their OT environments.

• It cited a December 2025 incident affecting more than 30 Polish wind and solar farms where attackers entered via external access points.
• Recommended pulling control interfaces off the public internet, enforcing secure monitored access with MFA, replacing default passwords, then moving to 24/7 monitoring.
