189 Bluetooth vulnerabilities were found in cars: an academic study of in-vehicle Bluetooth security challenges. 🚘🔵👩🏽🏭 🪰🤬
Security researchers Vladyslav Zubkov, Tommaso Sacchetti, Daniele Antonioli, and Martin Strohmeier presented their new research on Bluetooth Classic cybersecurity in cars last month.
The authors tested 22 cars from 14 manufacturers against a framework containing 44 Bluetooth vulnerabilities. Impressive - and quite alarming - when you consider that some of the cars are relatively new.
By the way, if you’re interested in the technical part, read the paper and check out the tool: BlueToolkit, developed by Yso Schwytz. If you’re not yet familiar with this tool, see the link below - you may learn some new tricks with Bluetooth. :)
Enjoy the research materials and the tool, and feel free to share them with your colleagues and friends.
