Researchers at Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative found multiple security problems with the equipment fitted to thousands of Mazda vehicles
Tech boffins have discovered multiple security problems with Mazda ’s Connect infotainment setup. Researchers at Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative learned that attackers could mess with a vehicle’s safety systems. Drivers have been advised to avoid connecting unknown USB devices and to limit third-party access to their cars. The US government wants to ban Chinese cars outright over fears that they could be remotely controlled by bad actors and become a security threat.
The cars don’t have self-driving capabilities and the author of the report Dmitry Janushkevich says malicious code would have to be inserted via a USB port, rather than via an OTA update. But your car is still at risk of being compromised if you regularly use valet parking at hotels, restaurants, and airports, or leave your car to be detailed or repaired.
