Hackers found a way to unlock, start cars through Sirius XM and Hyundai app vulnerability
If you speak the language of computers and online security, we recommend you take a look through the Twitter thread from Curry just above. To greatly simplify it, all Curry needed to execute the aforementioned commands on cars using Sirius XM Connected Vehicles services was the VIN of the car. Of course, this took a lot of work to finally get to, the sort of work only experts in this field would be capable of.
Thankfully, this hack originated from the good side of the hacking world. Also, it’s good to see that Sirius took the security flaw seriously, then went to work remedying the issue right away to ensure it couldn’t be replicated by any nefarious actors. Hacking Sirius XM wasn’t the only car-related exploit Curry tackled as of late, though. Hyundai’s vehicle smartphone app was also under the scope.
Instead of attacking the problem from the bigger umbrella with Sirius XM’s services, Curry directed his attention to the Hyundai mobile vehicle app itself … and he found a way in. This time, all Curry needed was the email address of the vehicle owner. With this information, Curry was able to write a script that would unlock access to all the vehicle commands one might be able to execute from your Hyundai smartphone app.
