Method To Jailbreak AMD-based Systems Developed, Tesla Cars Targeted

Researchers from the Technical University of Berlin have developed a method to jailbreak Tesla's infotainment systems in recent car models. This hack allows them to run any software they choose and extract Tesla's hardware-bound RSA key for car authentication. They can also activate locked features like seat heating and 'Acceleration Boost' without payment. The researchers shared their findings with BleepingComputer and will present them at BlackHat 2023. The hack relies on previous AMD research to exploit weaknesses in Tesla's infotainment APU based on the vulnerable AMD Zen 1 CPU. Read more...
