Actually a security researcher found a back door in some Chinese inverters recently.

Normally I’d believe this administration is just knee-jerk banning because China and solar, but in this case there was an actual reason.

And what was found? was it enabled? was it in the spec sheet when they bought it?

Was it an actual backdoor? Or an intended service config?
