Hackers from TU Berlin managed to jailbreak #Tesla cars, unlocking software-locked features worth up to $15,000 🪓🪓🪓
They used a known (unpatchable) voltage fault injection attack against the AMD Secure Processor to glitch the boot process, got root, and retrieved the car's RSA private key 👌

Well, lets ignore "run arbitrary software on the infotainment” for a moment, most car brands have such creepy features, like GM and BMW for example. To drive around with hardware built into the car, that you just can't use because of a missing software licence is not very economical.
This is just another proof of those so called cars of the future being the childhood dream of a 1980s teenager: a game console with wheels.
Too bad they catch fire more often than your good old Gameboy.
My first thought was to wonder how many more steps it would take from unlocking FSD to pwning the vehicle remotely. If not this, then it's just a matter of time before someone figures that one out.
Mit Root-Rechten und dem RSA-Schlüssel sind natürlich auch andere Dinge möglich. Etwa das Betriebssystem durch Linux ersetzen oder das Auto fernzusteuern.
Mein Favorit: 8 weisse Tesla Y und 8 schwarze Tesla Y (die Bauern) und 8 helle Tesla S, 3 und X und 8 dunkle Tesla S, 3 und X (König, Dame, Springer, Läufer und Turm) in die Quadratestadt Mannheim schicken und eine Partie Strassenschach spielen. Mir fehlt nur ein Gegner der genauso schlecht Schach spielt wie ich (also nicht Ron Weasley).
