🚗 Millions of Cars Remotely Hackable via PerfektBlue Bluetooth Flaw A critical vulnerability in the BlueSDK Bluetooth stack—dubbed PerfektBlue—exposes millions of vehicles (including Mercedes‑Benz, VW, Skoda) to remote hacking with a single click. Attackers can access infotainment systems to track GPS, record audio, steal phone data, and potentially take over functions like steering or horn . 🛡️ Here’s how to protect your vehicle: 1. Apply firmware updates released by your manufacturer. 2. Disable Bluetooth when not in use. 3. Segment your car’s network—limit pairing capabilities. 4. Confirm any Bluetooth pairing requests manually. Read more here: https://buff.ly/IRcKv0t #CarSecurity #BluetoothHack #PerfektBlue #VehicleSafety #RSDCybersecurity /

🚗 Your car’s Bluetooth might be leaking more than music. A new USENIX paper reveals serious flaws in automotive Bluetooth systems — across 22 cars from 14 brands. Researchers found 128 vulnerabilities and even new attack paths like PBAP data leaks and 0-click MITM pairing bypasses. Bottom line: 👉 Cars are still shipping with outdated Bluetooth stacks. 👉 Attackers within range could steal data or hijack connected accounts. Security isn’t optional — even for your infotainment system. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eaSx5-B5 #CyberSecurity #Bluetooth #CarHacking #Infosec

Critical Vulnerability in KIA Portal: Remote Control Over Millions of Vehicles In June 2024 security researchers discovered a severe flaw in KIA’s dealer portal that allowed attackers through the website alone to read vehicle data, unlock doors and even start the engine of models from 2013 and onward. No physical access was required; only a license plate number and VIN were needed, exposing vehicles and personal data of car owners. Researchers demonstrated how within seconds a malicious actor could gain remote control over key vehicle functions. KIA patched the issue after responsible disclosure, yet similar weaknesses were later found in other manufacturers including BMW, Fiat and Ferrari. The lesson is clear: modern vehicles are fully connected IT systems with APIs, access tokens and vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity today does not stop at the data center and extends all the way to the driver’s seat. #CyberSecurity #CarHacking #Kia #IoTSecurity #ConnectedCars #APIsecurity #CyberAwareness

The 2015 Jeep hack, documented in Wired, marked a turning point in automotive cybersecurity. Charlie Miller and his colleague demonstrated how they could take control of the vehicle through its infotainment system, which interfaced with steering and other critical technologies. Traditional vehicles relied on mechanical linkages for steering and braking. However, as the industry transitions to software-defined vehicles, steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire technologies become prevalent. This shift underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to ensure redundancy and prevent unauthorized control of vehicle functions. #AutomotiveCybersecurity #Cybersecurity #SoftwareDefinedVehicles #Tech #Innovation

Networked production needs protection - like an airbag in a car. The digitalization of manufacturing drives efficiency and innovation, but it also opens new gateways for cyberattacks. 👉 65% of manufacturers were targeted by ransomware in 2025. 👉 $22,000 loss per minute of downtime. OT security is the airbag of the smart factory: It kicks in when digital attacks throw production into a skid and protects before damage occurs. Find out how BMW, GM & Co. secure their systems and which strategies make the decisive difference here: http://ms.spr.ly/6049s7EmS. #CyberSecurity #OTSecurity #Automotive #TSystems
