Securing the green grid: A data anomaly detection method for mitigating cyberattacks on smart meter measurements

(September 2024)

Smart meters, being a vital component in the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), provide an opportunity to remotely monitor and control power usage and act like a bridge between customers and utilities. The installation of millions of smart meters in the power grid is a step forward towards a green transition. However, it also constitutes a massive cybersecurity vulnerability. Cyberattacks on AMI can result in inaccurate billing, energy theft, service disruptions, privacy breaches, network vulnerabilities, and malware distribution.

Smart Meter: Einfallstore für Cyberangriffe im Stromnetz

(April 6, 2026)

Die Studie unterstreicht, dass der Schutz kritischer Netzknoten oberste Priorität haben muss. Neben der neuen Detektionsmethode empfehlen die Autoren:

– Kompromittierte Daten gezielt zu entfernen oder zu korrigieren

– Stärkere Cybersicherheitsstandards bei der Entwicklung und dem Betrieb von Smart Metern

– Eine Kombination aus technischen und organisatorischen Maßnahmen, um die gesamte Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) abzusichern

Die wichtigste Gegenmaßnahme ist allerdings sich kein Smart Meter aufschwatzen oder aufnötigen zu lassen. Die klassischen Ferraris-Zähler sind gegen jegliche Manipulation aus der Ferne gefeit, mangels Verbindung ins Internet. Und sie senden auch keine Hochfrequenz-Strahlung aus.

Human Rights Expert Sounds Alarm Over Israeli Firm’s ‘Dystopian’ Video-Altering Tech

(December 27, 2022)

The company, whose activities are overseen by the Israeli Defense Ministry, “was set up in 2018 and has offices in Tel Aviv and Washington,” Haaretz reported. “It works solely with state clients in government, intelligence bodies, and law enforcement agencies, almost exclusively—but not just—in the West. According to the internal documents, as of 2021, the company had contracts with Israel valued at $6 million, and had also planned an ‘expansion of existing deployment’ in Israel.”

Toka can tap into web-connected cameras found virtually everywhere—intersections, parking lots, malls, hotels, airports, and even homes. Haaretz compared the firm’s “cyberoffense” capabilities to the 2001 heist movie Ocean’s Eleven.

This ‘dystopian’ new spy technology should terrify you

(December 29, 2022)

Frightening new technology in the hands of government intelligence agencies has the ability to commandeer any smart camera and even “alter feeds” to manipulate both its audio and visuals — including past recordings, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

(…)

Specifically, it can “transform untapped [Internet of things] sensors into intelligence sources” in the interest of “intelligence and operational needs,” according to 2021 internal company documents Haaretz obtained.

(…)

The Toka rep added that its only clients are “the US and its closest allies … Toka does not sell to private clients or individuals.”

Knesset extends order allowing IDF, Shin Bet to hack into private security cameras

(December 24, 2025)

The Knesset approved a one-year extension of a temporary order that authorizes the IDF and Shin Bet security service to hack into private security cameras without their owners‘ knowledge.

Although the temporary order originally stipulated that hacking into cameras would only be done in cases related to „significant military activities,“ the current proposal eliminated this condition so that the order would not be dependent on the state of war. However, the grounds for activating the order were reduced.

Ten Knesset members voted in favor of the order in the third and final vote, with no opponents.

Israeli parliament extends order allowing Israeli military, intelligence access into private security cameras

(December 24, 2025)

Israel’s Knesset approved a one-year extension of a temporary order allowing the Israeli military and Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet to hack into private security cameras without owners’ knowledge, Haaretz reported.

The original order limited such access to cases involving “significant military activities.”

The updated legislation removed this restriction, allowing the order to be used regardless of a state of war, while narrowing the grounds for its activation. In the third and final vote, ten Knesset members supported the measure and none opposed it.

Operation Northwoods

(March 13, 1962)

c. Commence large scale United States military operations.
3. A „Remember the Maine“ incident could be arranged in several forms:
a. We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba.
b. We could blow up a drone (unmanned) vessel anywhere in the Cuban waters. We could arrange to cause such incident in the vicinity of Havana or Santiago as a spectacular result of Cuban attack from the air or sea, or both. The presence of Cuban planes or ships merely investigating the intent of the vessel could be fairly compelling evidence that the ship was taken under attack. The nearness to Havana or Santiago would add credibility especially to those people that might have heard the blast or have seen the fire. The US could follow up with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US fighters to „evacuate“ remaining members of the non-existent crew. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.
4. We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington.

The terror campaign could be pointed at refugees seeking haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans en route to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized. Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement, also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.

DER 11. SEPTEMBER: Duplikat, Drone, Plan

(12. September 2014)

Bereits vor Jahrzehnten entwickelte das Militär der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika den Plan ein eigenes ziviles Passagierflugzeug in der Luft gegen eine unbemannte „Drone“ auszutauschen, um diese dann selbst zur Explosion zu bringen und einen Abschuss vorzutäuschen. Ebenso wurde der Plan einer „Terrorkampagne“ in der eigenen Hauptstadt Washington, sowie die Versenkung eines US-Kriegsschiffes autorisiert. Ziel war es, diese Vorfälle einer feindlichen Macht zu unterstellen, vor der Weltöffentlichkeit das Opfer zu spielen und nachfolgend eine Invasion starten zu können.

‚Earthquake-like‘: Israeli bombing rocks Gaza City as occupation threat looms

A resident of al-Saftawi neighbourhood, also in the north of the city, Matar and his wife were startled awake by what he described as a “frightening sound of movement“.

“We thought it was the sound of asbestos sheets being moved from place to place by a crane or a tuk-tuk. We couldn’t sleep out of fear.”

At around 4:45am, the couple realised the sound had come from a remotely controlled Israeli military robot.

The robots, which carry explosives, have been widely used by Israeli forces during the ongoing invasion of Gaza, often targeting civilian homes.

The “robots” described by Ismail are likely the Israeli army’s outdated M113 APC models, which have been retrofitted with explosives and remotely detonated near buildings throughout the war. Ismail told Mondoweiss that neither he nor his family had time to take anything from their home due to fears that the APC near them would be detonated.

“Before now, the army used to blow up one or two buildings with the robots. Now they destroy dozens of buildings at once. Robots and warplanes are working together to destroy every place in Gaza City,” he described.

TR-03109-1 Detailspezifikationen: Anforderungen an die Interoperabilität der Kommunikationseinheit eines intelligenten Messsystems

(September 17, 2021)

12. Detailspezifikation Automatische Adresskonfiguration und DNS-Discovery

12.1. Einleitung

Dieses Kapitel beschreibt Anforderungen an die automatische, dynamische Adresskonfiguration, Device- und Service Discovery mit dem Multicast Domain Name Service Protokoll (mDNS) und Domain Name Service Service Discovery (SD) Protokoll. Multicast DNS und DNS-SD werden verwendet, um eine automatische Konfiguration von Geräten und Diensten in einem Netzwerk zu ermöglichen. Zusammen mit einer automatischen IP-Adressvergabe wird dieses Konzept „Zeroconf“ genannt. Diese Spezifikation enthält Anforderungen an die Implementierung des mDNS/DNS-SD Responders (s. [RFC6762] Kapitel 6 und [RFC6763]).

Der mDNS Responder beantwortet DNS-Adressanfragen nach .local.“ (unique resource) und
„smgw.local.“ (shared resource) mit der link-lokalen Netzwerkadresse des SMGW.
mDNS verwendet die Datenstrukturen des DNS-Protokolls und kommuniziert über Port 5353 mittels UDP-Protokoll und Multicast-IPv4 und/oder IPv6.

mDNS verwendet DNS-A-Records zum Mitteilen von IPv4-Adressen und DNS-AAAA-Records zum Mitteilen
von IPv6-Adressen der Geräteschnittstelle im (lokalen) Netzwerk und kann IP-Adressen über DNS-PTR-Re-
cords zu Hostnamen auflösen.

DNS-SD verwendet DNS-SRV-Records zur Beschreibung der Dienstzugriffsadressen (z.B. Port-Nummer) und
DNS-TXT-Records zur Übermittlung von detaillierteren, kontextabhängigen Dienstzugangsinformationen
eines Gerätes im Netzwerk.

mDNS/DNS-SD bietet keinen Schutz vor manipulierten, verzögerten oder ausgespähten mDNS/DNS-SD-
Nachrichten. Um einen gewissen Schutz zu erreichen, darf das Protokoll deshalb nur link-lokal und in physisch oder kryptografisch geschützten Netzwerken innerhalb von Liegenschaften verwendet werden. Eine Betrachtung von Angreifer-Modellen zur Privacy von DNS-SD findet sich in [RFC8882].

Verbrauchsdaten­erfassung per Funk

4. Welche Reichweite hat der Funkempfänger?
Die Mindestreichweite beträgt drei Stockwerke, wobei der Empfänger in der mittleren Etage montiert wird. Die Funksender können dann auf dieser Etage, eine Etage darüber und eine Etage darunter montiert werden. Die horizontale Reichweite beträgt ca. 25 bis 30 m um den Funkempfänger herum. Da die Reichweite stark von der Gebäudetechnik abhängig ist, kann eine Machbarkeitsprognose mittels eingereichter Baupläne oder durch eine Testmessung im Objekt angefordert werden.

5. Welche Einschränkungen bestehen bezüglich der Bausubstanz?
Empfangsvermindernd können Stahlarmierungen, Stahlschränke, große Elektromotoren oder andere Funksender (z. B. CB-Funk, Garagentorsteuerung oder Modellbau) sein.

6. Wie kann man die gespeicherten Verbrauchsdaten aus der Funkzentrale auslesen ?
Die Daten können mit einem Laptop, mit einem GSM-Gateway oder über einen TCP/IP-Anschluss ausgelesen werden.

7. Was ist ein GSM-Gateway?
Ein GSM-Gateway ist ein Gerät, dass zwischen GSM-Mobilfunknetzen und einem weiteren Netz (z. B. Deutsche Telekom / Festnetz) Gespräche / Datenverbindungen weiterleiten kann. Eine Datenauslesung der Funkzentrale vor Ort entfällt vollständig. Die Datenauslesung wird zu festgelegten Zeiten durchgeführt.

8. Was ist ein TCP/IP-Anschluss?
Standardmäßig werden Computer über TCP/IP-Anschlüsse miteinander verbunden. Besteht eine Internetverbindung im Haus, so können wir die Zentralen über diese Verbindung auslesen.
