A recent breach of the LockBit ransomware group exposed chat logs, offering a rare inside look at how victims were targeted and extorted. Automotive companies featured prominently among those attacked. We unpack the key findings and outline practical steps that automotive companies can take to block LockBit attacks or similar incidents.

Traditional vulnerability management platforms overlook zero-day vulnerabilities, putting the automotive industry at risk. Discover how xZETA provides more visibility into vulnerabilities to help the industry stay ahead of emerging threats.

By decrypting an Android OTA update to their vehicle’s infotainment system, a researcher gained access to proprietary code. We examine the method that the researcher used and what it means for modern vehicle security.

As automotive cyberthreats grow more complex, automotive threat intelligence (TI) becomes more essential. But not all solutions reduce risk effectively. We explore why the right automotive TI approach can mean the difference between insight and information overload.

Today’s threats move so fast that static threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) can no longer keep up. We discuss how dynamic TARA gives organizations the edge, with faster response, tighter collaboration, and continuous protection.

As AI assistants become standard features in vehicles, new risks like prompt injection are emerging, quietly manipulating systems through seemingly harmless inputs. We explore how attackers could exploit invisible commands in everyday interactions and why securing AI at the input level is critical to automotive safety.

High-impact vulnerabilities in Apple’s AirPlay protocol, collectively known as “AirBorne,” expose CarPlay-equipped vehicles to remote code execution, privacy breaches, and potential system compromise. We explore how the vulnerabilities work, real-world scenarios where exploits could occur, and what users and automotive stakeholders can do to stay protected.

Hitag2, a legacy key fob system, has long been known to carry security flaws. A recent demonstration showed that it could be cracked in under a minute. We break down how the attack works and why outdated encryption poses serious risks to modern vehicles.

We analyze the three-bug exploit chain demonstrated by security researchers against the Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX IVI system at Pwn2Own Automotive 2024. We map it to the Automotive Threat Matrix and highlight industry best practices for mitigating similar exploits.

As EV fleets become more connected, cybersecurity is playing an increasingly critical role in ensuring long-term performance, compliance, and asset utilization. We explore the most pressing cyber risks facing modern fleets and present actionable strategies to help organizations keep their vehicles secure, operational, and productive.

As AI, EVs, and SDVs reshape the automotive industry, cyberthreats are evolving in tandem. Drawing from VicOne’s 2025 automotive cybersecurity report, this article offers key insights into the industry’s threat landscape and outlines the strategies automakers need to stay ahead.

Security researchers uncovered a vulnerability in Subaru’s in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system admin panel, enabling unauthorized access to personal information, GPS records, and vehicle controls. We examine the findings and emphasize the need for automotive manufacturers to adopt a security-first approach throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
