A research team Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) successfully circumventing all existing security measures with the attack and authentication developed a tool that can This type of attack could be effective on all types of devices, from smartphones to smart locks. Researchers for the experiment Tesla He chose a branded car.
Tesla vehicles and many devices are in danger!
attack, official Bluetooth It is carried out over the signals between the sending and receiving devices. In this way, the attacker receives a message sent to the receiving device. can manipulate data. All it takes to implement this method is that the attacker is relatively close to both the user and the target device.
Another problem at Tesla: It recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles
Tesla recalled 130,000 vehicles due to an issue with overheating of the CPU and causing the touchscreen to malfunction.
In the experiment, the researchers had version 4.6.1-891 of the Tesla application. 2020 Tesla Model 3 and one iPhone 13 mini they used. During the experiment, two relay devices were used, one located seven meters from the phone and the other three meters from the car. The total distance between the phone and the car is 25 meters was. And the experiment was successful.
Researchers made the following statements on the subject:
“NCC Group was able to use this newly developed relay attack device to unlock and start the vehicle when the iPhone is out of BLE range.
Later, the team did the same experiment. 2021 Tesla Model Y successfully done on it. Research team test results Tesla shared with. Tesla, on the other hand, sufficed to say that relay attacks are “a known vulnerability of the passive input system”.
To protect against such attacks, users passive entry system can disable it. They can also use an alternative authentication method in their vehicles that preferably requires user interaction. Besides these “PIN to Drive” feature is also a very important point for the safety of your vehicle. In this way, even if the thieves manage to open the vehicle successfully, they will not be able to get far.
So, you Theft that can be done via Bluetooth What do you think about it? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
