Chinese Hackers Control Tesla’s Brakes From 12 Miles Away

Hackers love exposing Tesla’s electronic weaknesses. Just this August, researchers showed how they could use jamming and spoofed signals to convince the Tesla Model S autopilot that real objects had disappeared or fake obstacles had appeared. A year before, researchers prized open a Tesla’s dash and attached computers to kill the car mid-drive. And today hackers from Tencent’s elite KEEN Team TISI +% hacker crew claimed to have demonstrated the first remote exploit of Elon Musk’s vehicles, making the potential for real-world attacks a little more realistic.
