Blog Article: Closing the “Door” on Remote Attackers by Securing Wireless Paths into Vehicles June 15, 2021 June 19, 2021 A modern vehicle typically supports communication over several different wireless interfaces such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular network, vehicle-to-X (V2X), GPS, etc. These wireless communication technologies enable new use cases to improve the user experience as well as new features and functions such as autonomous driving and route planning. While wireless communication has several benefits, it also presents a potential attack vector for hackers. In particular, wireless communication has the added risk that potential attacks can be conducted remotely with no need for physical access to the target vehicle. In addition, a large number of connected vehicles can generally be targeted with less effort compared to the effort required to physically attack multiple vehicles individually.
