Security researchers hacked the Tesla infotainment system and demoed 24 more zero-days on the second day of the Pwn2Own Automotive 2024 hacking competition.
On the first day of Pwn2Own Automotive 2024, Synacktiv also collected another $295,000 after getting root on a Tesla Modem and hacking Ubiquiti Connect EV and JuiceBox 40 Smart EV Charging Stations using three chains, exploiting a total of seven zero-days.
After the Pwn2Own competition ends, vendors have 90 days to release security fixes before TrendMicro's Zero Day Initiative publicly discloses the zero-days.
The Pwn2Own Automotive 2024 hacking contest takes place in Tokyo, Japan, during the Automotive World auto conference from January 24 to January 26, focusing on automotive technologies.
During the contest, the hackers target electric vehicle chargers, infotainment systems, and car operating systems, including Automotive Grade Linux, Android Automotive OS, and BlackBerry QNX. They'll also attack Tesla Model 3/Y and Tesla Model S/X units, including the in-vehicle infotainment and modem systems, both already hacked during the first two days of the tournament.
