"Auto Cyberattacks Becoming More Widespread"

As cars grow in intelligence, sophistication, and connectivity, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. The current challenge is to stay ahead of hackers who are constantly looking for new methods for attacking car software and hardware. In 2022, there was a significant increase in deep/dark web activity and Application Programming Interface (API)-related incidents compared to the previous year, according to the 2023 Global Automotive Cybersecurity Report by Upstream. Last year, around 63 percent of incidents were linked to malicious actors across a broad spectrum of attack vectors. Targets included telematics and application servers, remote keyless entry systems, Electronic Control Units (ECUs), infotainment systems, mobile applications, Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and Bluetooth. This article continues to discuss the onslaught of automotive attack vectors from 2010 to 2021, supply chain challenges, how to counter ever-changing cyber threats, building security early in the design cycle, and balancing the cost of security.
