Some operators of wind power plants in Germany are currently facing a failure of the satellite connection of their plants. The remote monitoring and control of thousands of wind turbines had failed. The reason for the outage has not yet been conclusively determined. However, it is unlikely that hackers specifically attacked German wind turbines. The German Wind Energy Association commented on the incident in an article in the "Handelsblatt". According to the article, the disruption was caused by the failure of the KA-SAT communication satellite of the operator Viasat.
