今日はRUSIのサイバーセキュリティに関する論説を読みましょう。電気自動車はコンピュータ化されているのでサイバーセキュリティが重要になる、という論説です。緊急停止機能(a Big Red Button)がハッキングされるのも問題だが、むしろ大量のセンサー（カメラやマイクを含む）から知らない間に個人情報を抜かれるほうが怖くないか、と述べています。エネルギーインフラのハッキングは例があるようですね。そういえばイランの核物質濃縮設備もハッキング（というよりスパイが制御コンピュータに差し込んだUSBウィルス）で壊されたと聞いたことがあります。

“For an indication of what weaponised attacks on critical infrastructure look like, and how interconnected assets are, we need only look to the Russian cyber attack on satellite internet operator ViaSat in early 2022. This affected customers in Ukraine, but also deactivated thousands of wind turbines in Germany when their satellite-dependent monitoring systems were taken offline.”
weaponised attacks 武器による攻撃
wind turbines 風力発電機
were taken offline 接続を切られた
“One example from within the energy industry would be attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the mid-2010s, which cut the power to 225,000 people in western Ukraine. Investigators believe hackers accessed vulnerabilities in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Many in the power industry in other countries became acutely aware that they were relying on the same kind of SCADA systems.”
vulnerabilities 脆弱性
supervisory 監視、監督 supervisor 上司
become acutely aware that … 痛切に気付く
rely on 依存する、頼る
“In DNV’s recent Cyber Priority research, which gathered the views of 600 energy professionals globally, just 57% said their organisations have good oversight of their supply chains. And these professionals placed ‘inadequate oversight of connected supply chain partners’ as the third greatest challenge in securing OT(operational technology).”
oversight 文脈で異なる（逆の）意味を持つ要注意単語です。1.見落とし 2. うっかりミス 3. 監視、管理 ＝supervision ここは3でしょう。
inadequate 不適切な
