In the old days, a physical button or switch on the dashboard of your car would have been wired to whatever device it was controlling. There was potentially a relay in the mix, but still, it wasn’t too hard to follow wires through the harness and figure out where they …read more

A prolific duo of white-hat hackers exploited a previously unknown flaw in the web browser for the Tesla Model 3’s infotainment system on the third and final day of the Pwn2Own competition in Vancouver, demonstrating the first automotive zero-day in the event’s history. Team “Flouroacetate” — aka Amat Cama and Richard Zhu — used the Tesla hack on Friday to cap off a dominant run in the competition, which takes place annually during the CanSecWest security conference. Cama and Zhu successfully demonstrated zero-day exploits on popular web browsers and widely used virtualization software during the first two days. The Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), the organization that runs Pwn2Own, didn’t release many details about the Tesla hack. Given the sensitivity of any flaws in automotive software, it’s hardly surprising. But the value of Cama and Zhu’s research to Tesla is clear: Not only did they win cash for their demonstration, they […]

While Chevrolet’s innovative electric hybrid might officially be headed to that great big junkyard in the sky, the Volt will still live on in the hearts and minds of hackers who’d rather compare amp hour than horsepower. For a relatively low cost, a used Volt offers the automotive hacker a fascinating platform for upgrades and experimentation. One such Volt owner is [Jared Stafford], who’s recently made some considerable headway on hacking his hybrid ride.
In an ongoing series on his blog, [Jared] is documenting his efforts to add new features and functions to his Volt. While he loves the car …read more

The hacking competition Pwn2Own is adding an automotive category to its March event in Vancouver, and participants will be able to take a crack at one of Tesla’s top models. The additional category is the result of a new partnership with Tesla, according to Japanese cybersecurity company Trend Micro, which runs Pwn2Own via the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI). The contest features live demonstrations of previously unknown security exploits, with hackers winning cash prizes for successfully showing off new zero days. Contestants in the automotive competition will focus on the Tesla Model 3, one of the best-selling luxury cars in the past year, Trend Micro said. In addition to cash prizes, one of the cars is also up for grabs for the “first successful researcher,” ZDI said. “Since 2007, Pwn2Own has become an industry-leading contest that encourages new areas of vulnerability research on today’s most critical platforms,” said Brian Gorenc, Trend Micro senior director of vulnerability research, in […]
