Kia dealer portal flaw could let attackers hack millions of cars

[1st_EV_2011]

"A group of security researchers discovered critical flaws in Kia's dealer portal that could let hackers locate and steal millions of Kia cars made after 2013 using just the targeted vehicle's license plate."

...

"The flaws also exposed car owners' sensitive personal information, including their name, phone number, email address, and physical address, and could have enabled attackers to add themselves as a second user on the targeted vehicles without the owners' knowledge."

"These vulnerabilities have since been fixed, this tool was never released, and the Kia team has validated this was never exploited maliciously,"

@generaltso How does the Kia ADAS compare to BlueCruise? What do you like the most about your EV-9 GT-line? Thanks in advance

Kia's HDA2 is pretty good. It's not hands-free, but does have a capacitive touch steering wheel. It behaves better than Bluecruise 1.0, but I never got to try newer versions of Bluecruise.

It's hard to pick one thing that I like about the EV9. The ventilated massaging seat is definitely near the top of the list.
