During last week’s Pwn2Own 2019 hacking contest, a Senegalese-Chinese duo
managed to hack
a
Tesla Model 3
. As per the competition’s rules, they were allowed to keep the car and also received a cash prize.
Tesla
has announced that a fix will be released shortly.
Car hacking has become a hot subject in recent years. It has evolved from a somewhat esoteric hacker subject to a problem that car manufacturers are actually interested in solving,
Tesla
‘s participation in Pwn2Own being a good example of that.
At VB2018 in Montreal,
Argus Cyber Security
‘s Inbar Raz presented a
paper
that provides an introduction to the subject of car hacking. In the paper, he looks at the complex problem, examples of car hacks, and the challenges ahead.
