A bus hacking demo revealed how attackers could use a bus’s guest Wi-Fi to access and compromise critical systems, underscoring the need for stronger automotive cybersecurity in smart transit systems.

In this blog, we present a systematic OSINT-driven methodology, one that aligns with the Auto-ISAC Automotive Threat Matrix (ATM) and is tailored for automotive threat intelligence. This approach enables security researchers and car manufacturers to map the continually expanding attack surface of connected vehicles.

At Black Hat USA 2025, security researchers revealed how vulnerabilities in EV chargers could cause charging cables to overheat and burst into flames. Their findings underscore the urgent need for stronger safeguards and hardware protection to ensure the safety of these devices.

We analyze the exploit chain used against the Tesla Wall Connector EV charger at Pwn2Own Automotive 2025, mapping it to the Automotive Threat Matrix and exploring its broader implications for automotive cybersecurity.

We examine how a signed Windows installer was used to deploy Redline Stealer malware, successfully bypassing traditional defenses. The incident reveals critical blind spots in automotive cybersecurity and highlights the need for zero-trust principles across the entire software supply chain.

A recently disclosed Linux flaw shows how seemingly ordinary bugs are starting to affect software-defined vehicles (SDVs). We unpack CVE-2025-6019, its impact on Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), and what it means for in-vehicle cybersecurity.

Replicating the core functions of a full-scale Resistant Automotive Miniature Network (RAMN) using just a single STM32 board is a practical, cost-effective way to dive into advanced in-vehicle networking. In this hands-on guide, we run through the step-by-step setup, enabling engineers and enthusiasts alike to prototype resilient automotive communication systems with minimal hardware.

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.

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 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.

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.
