Security researchers have found a new way to trick owners into giving them the details needed to instantly create a spare key for their car.
More and more modern vehicles use internet-facing and connected features in the name of convenience. The reality is that the convenience of these features can actually present a whole new attack surface for threat actors to exploit—that's exactly what a team of security researchers at Mysk found in a new social engineering attack aimed at exposing a vulnerability in Tesla's fleet of cars.
If multi-factor is enabled on the owner's account, the attacker then forces the user to be prompted for a multi-factor code. The code entered by the user is displayed on the Flipper and the attacker can log in as the user to the Tesla app on their cell phone. The app will immediately see the location of the vehicle without authorizing their phone as a key.
