Model X was successfully invaded by hackers, Tesla plans to release new patches to make up for loopholes

 

Tesla's security department has expressed its frustration in the NFC relay attack, saying that this is a known but unsolved vulnerability in the system.

Model X was successfully hacked

According to reports, Tesla Model X electric car was hacked, and a hacker successfully unlocked Model X through a "relay attack."

A researcher from the University of Leuven in Belgium claimed that his new attack bypassed the improved encryption technology of the key fob. It took about 90 seconds to enter the car, and then it only took about 1 minute to complete the registration and successfully drive the car away. .

Tesla has been informed of this new attack and plans to launch a new patch to strengthen its defenses.

It is understood that the theft of Tesla cars is relatively rare in North America, but in Europe, theft occurs from time to time. The thieves use NFC "relay attacks" to carry out theft, and most of the stolen vehicles are difficult to retrieve.

In response to this type of attack, Tesla has previously added the "PIN to Drive" function to improve the encryption technology of the key fob. After the door is opened, if you want to start the vehicle, you need to enter a four-digit PIN for verification to prevent others Invasion. PIN to Drive is an optional feature designed to increase security, and car owners who need it can choose independently.

However, Tesla's security department has expressed its helplessness in the NFC relay attack, saying that this is a known but unsolved vulnerability in the system.

But facts have proved that there are indeed barriers to building cars, and it limits most players.  Li Bin, the founder and chairman of Weilai  Automobile  , once said that an electric car company needs at least 20 billion yuan to reach mass production. Xiaopeng Motors Chairman He Xiaopeng also sighed: "It used to be an exaggeration to see others making cars. I jumped in and realized that 20 billion is not enough to spend.” In the end, the new car-building forces ran out of three first-tier players, but at the same time it also made people realize how difficult it is for a new company to build cars. People's ...

New energy vehicles are accelerating toward the sinking market, looking for new incremental space. However, for more new energy vehicle brands, how to break the dilemma of low prices in the sinking market, increase the added value of products, and obtain more profits in addition to the increase in sales are long-term problems that need to be faced.
