WATCH Researchers Show How Tesla's Model S Could Be Hacked in Two Seconds
15:24 GMT 11.09.2018 (Updated: 12:16 GMT 06.08.2022) Belgian hackers reportedly showed how a Tesla Model S key mob could be hacked using $600 equipment. They had reported the vulnerability to Tesla, but the company had fixed the issue only months later.
According to a team of researchers from KU Leuven University, The Wire reported, a Tesla Model S key fob could be cloned with the help of several devices worth roughly $600, including a radio, a minicomputer, a pre-computed table of keys and some batteries. It was revealed that a hacker could read the signals from an owner's wireless key fob.
The researchers reported about the vulnerability last August. They reportedly received a "thank you" and a $10,000 bounty from the electric car giant, but Tesla didn't fix the bug until its June encryption upgrade and more recent PIN code addition.
