Researchers demonstrated how they could conduct a Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM) phishing attack to compromise Tesla accounts, unlocking cars, and starting them. The attack works on the latest Tesla app, version 4.30.6, and Tesla software version 11.1 2024.2.7. The researchers reported their findings to Tesla saying that linking a car to a new phone lacks proper authentication security. However, the car maker determined the report to be out of scope.
