The researchers from Germany also managed to extract the encryption key used to authenticate the car to Tesla's network.
A team of researchers from Germany managed to jailbreak a Tesla Model 3, unlocking free access to in-car features that are normally paid upgrades.
The white hat hackers, three of which are are students at Technische Universität Berlin in Germany, toldOne of the students said that while the attack required physical access to the car, it is exactly the scenario where their jailbreak would be useful – i.e. for an owner who is not willing to pay extra for upgrades that are already built into their vehicle, such as the"We are not the evil outsider, but we're actually the insider, we own the car.
Using the same technique, the researchers claimed they were able to extract the encryption key used to authenticate the car to Tesla's network. While this could potentially open the door to a series of other attacks, they said they still have to explore the possibilities in this scenario. Still, extracting the encryption key allowed them to pull critical personal information from the car including contacts, call logs, recent calendar appointments, locations the car visited, Wi-Fi passwords, and session tokens from email accounts, among other things. This type of data could be attractive to people who don't own a particular Tesla Model 3 vehicle, but still have physical access to it, the researchers said.
