Researchers once again hack a Tesla Model S key fob

Owners of certain Tesla models should stop relying on just the key fob to lock up their cars. Researchers at Belgium university KU Leuven have reported that they've successfully hacked Tesla's keyless system yet again.  The team first announced their ability to unlock a Model S with a cloned key fob last September. But, on Tuesday, the university's Lennert Wouters presented evidence that they had managed to exploit a bug that bypassed Tesla's patch of that initial weakness, again allowing access to a locked Model S.  According to Wouters, it's a configuration bug in the encryption of the key fob, which is produced by electronics company Pektron, that would allow a hacker to crack the code by breaking only a little bit more sweat than previously required.  Read more...More about Tesla, Tesla Model S, Key Fob, Tech, and Transportation
