Researchers have uncovered security vulnerabilities in Tesla’s Model 3 and Cybertruck, demonstrating that hackers could intercept the vehicles’ wireless connectivity stack.

Find it, fix it, build it better. 0 system is perfect.

/dev/null is kinda great

As per the article “This vulnerability is present in all modern cars” He just happened to have a model 3 and cybertruck to test with.

Some very loose definitions of "vulnerabilities" there. Basically they can spoof a cell tower and send fake text message to the car?

`ln -sf /dev/null /your/data/is/my/data`

This is such a non-news. Research-Clickbait at its best.

We've known about IMSI catchers since the Feds started using Stingrays post 9/11

Well the entire article applies also to every cellphone out there. So very click bait and no technical details of actual exploits, just pointing at vulnerabilities in the 4G modem stack...

And any and all mobile devices without exception. Absolutely embarrassing to publish this as „research“, GPT can just tell you that.

What danger would this pose to an owner?

Hey we also discovered a BIG security vulnerability of Tesla! If you hit it with a tank, it'll be crashed!! Surprise surprise.

In other news water is wet. CANBUS and other such bus networks have had this vulnerability for decades. Look at industrial sites and you’ll find plenty there. Are we gonna do anything about it? Probably not.

Typical Clickbait trying to seem like it’s a Tesla issue lol

Would probably be a dumb car to steal no? With all the tracking and smart features you would think so. But I’d say the PIN code would alleviate this concern and don’t even need to buy any extra security device it’s built in the car

Wish there was an upgrade path from the 4G modems to the more secure 5G modems/connectivity.

Don't worry this will be posted to /r/electricvehicles and get 70 thousand upvotes shortly.

This is an absolute joke. This is simply pointing out the cellular network isn't designed to prevent rogue towers. But Tesla's communicate over secure communication so it doesn't matter at all.

This article is just describing how cellular networks are designed by design and describing it as a vulnerability. It isn't.

I don’t see it. Do we really need a persecution complex over our favorite car company? The vulnerability is not exclusive to those two cars, as clearly stated in the article regarding educational security research.

This is false. No actual vulnerability exists.

Actually water itself isn’t wet, it makes other things wet. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. You should’ve said the sky is blue instead.

My country keeps record of stolen vehicles. There are alot of Tesla’s on our roads! It’s the Netherlands so we have a very good EV adoption. In a year about 10 Tesla’s get stolen (compares to 760 toyota’s) 100% of the Tesla’s are found and returned. The average of other brands is 30-40% returned. So yeah stealing a Tesla is pretty stupid.

Don't let the facts get in the way of click bait Tesla bashing.

The danger that the car isn't able to talk to the Tesla server and the app. With this "attack", the attacker can create an artificial zone of no reception. Like wrapping the car in aluminium foil, just easier.

Click baiiiiiit

A Tesla is like a big as iPhone. All other EVs are like androids
