JANUS: Denial-Of-Service Attack against Beam Hopping in LEO Satellite Networks

Low Earth orbit LEO satellite networks are increasingly used to provide global connectivity. However, each satellite has limited resources that need to be allocated according to demand, which varies geographically and over time. Beam hopping addresses this challenge by dividing a satellite's...

Optimal Planning for Enhancing the Resilience of Modern Distribution Systems against Cyberattacks

The increasing integration of IoT-connected devices in smart grids has introduced new vulnerabilities at the distribution level. Of particular concern is the potential for cyberattacks that exploit high-wattage IoT devices, such as EV chargers, to manipulate local demand and destabilize the grid...

BlackIoT Botnet: Can Water Heaters, Washers Bring Down the Power Grid?

We live in a world where washing machines text us when a load of laundry is finished and refrigerators can email grocery lists; but for all the convenience, it turns out that these high-wattage appliances can potentially be marshaled into something very inconvenient indeed: A wide-scale attack on...
