More relevant quotes from the article:
> The group of hackers claims that their “Tesla Jailbreak” is “unpatchable” and allows to run “arbitrary software on the infotainment.”
And the full quote of what you put:
> Electrek’s Take
> Generally, these exploits are shared with Tesla, and it helps the automaker secure its systems.
> In this case, the hackers said that despite the exploit, they believe Tesla’s security is better than other automakers.
Doesn't seem like the security researchers actually shared the exploit with Tesla, at least as far as I understand.
- kelnos 3y agoThe information in this article alone is likely enough for some Tesla engineers to sit down and figure out the exploit themselves. And if this research group wants to enable regular people to "jailbreak" their cars, they have to publish their full methodology anyway.
- vorticalbox 3y agoThat's likely because it's a hardware issue, nothing really for tesla to do.
- bumby 3y agoApologize for my ignorance, but isn't it up to Tesla to define what hardware they want to integrate? Or is there no design alternative?
- avrionov 3y agoWhat they meant is that it is not possible to fix it without replacing the hardware.
- bumby 3y agoI see. But replacing the hardware would still be very much in the purview of "Tesla's problem" if you think they are a car manufacturer.
- filoleg 3y agoYes, but it is unpatchable for any currently existing cars on the road, I believe that's the point they were trying to articulate (though not super well). And yeah, you are correct, Tesla can close up that exploit in their newer hardware revisions.
- pitched 3y agoChanging hardware would mean a recall and this doesn’t seem to warrant it.
- Knee_Pain 3y agoBut how much time until the hardware is changed? And all the current models?
- neuralzen 3y agoThey will share the details at Blackhat next week
