Cât de ușor poate fi piratată o mașină modernă: Un hacker a stins farurile în mers și a ascultat conversațiile pasagerilor. „Nici măcar nu avea parolă”

An experiment in Australia revealed significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the BYD Shark 6, allowing remote control of various vehicle functions. The test, conducted by a cybersecurity expert, demonstrated that the vehicle could be manipulated without a password, raising concerns about the safety of modern connected cars. Although the experiment focused on the Australian model, it highlights potential risks for all connected vehicles, including those in Romania. BYD is investigating the claims and emphasizes the importance of vehicle security. The situation is particularly relevant as the EU implements stricter cybersecurity regulations for new vehicles starting July 2024.
