If you get phished or something, can attackers use this to turn off the car while driving? Or something lesd harmful like keep it on while you're at work and drain gas.
- V__ 4y agoMaybe. There was a vulnerability [1] with BlueLink and that could have been an attack vector, but the article mentions: > The attack can’t be done at scale, because the local network that the vehicle owner is using would have to be infiltrated by the attacker. Wikipedia says BlueLink uses Bluetooth [2]. So I'm not sure what connection is actually used, but if it's Bluetooth/local wifi and there are no further security bugs, then it would be unlikely that someone else could connect to the car in the first place.

- _8j50 4y agoMakes sense. I thought it was done over the internet when U saw login().
- synchronizing 4y agoI can't speak on older BlueLink cars (article is from 2017), but my 2021 Elantra has GSM built-in and the commands are sent/received through the web - no bluetooth at all.
- V__ 4y agoThat sucks. Do you know if there is an option to limit it to wifi?
- synchronizing 4y agoI've gone through every configuration menu the cars has and I've personally never seen the option to modify that.
