Researchers find security flaws in Skoda cars that may let #hackers remotely track them
"The vulnerabilities, discovered in the vehicle’s MIB3 infotainment unit, could allow attackers to achieve unrestricted code execution and run malicious code every time the unit starts. This could let an attacker obtain live vehicle GPS coordinates and speed data, record conversations via the in-car microphone, take screenshots of the infotainment display, and play arbitrary sounds in the car, according to PCAutomotive."
They can also exfiltrate the contact database if it is synced with the infotainment system because it is stored in plain text.
