"Hackers Could Steal a Tesla Model S by Cloning Its Key Fob—Again"

In 2018, researchers from Belgium's KU Leuven university discovered a security vulnerability in the Tesla Model S that could allow hackers to create a duplicate of the car's key fob in order to unlock and steal the car. In response to this discovery, Tesla created a new version of its key fob that addressed the vulnerability. However, researchers have recently uncovered another vulnerability, which impacts the new key fobs. The exploitation of this vulnerability could also enable hackers to clone the keys and drive off with the vehicle. This article continues to discuss the new key fob cloning attack against Tesla's Model S cars and other discoveries surrounding the insecurity of keyless entry systems.
