Researchers have discovered that smart buses with interconnected systems are vulnerable to remote hacking due to unprotected network protocols and default passwords. These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to manipulate bus data, track locations, access cameras, or disrupt transportation services. #TrendMicro #ADAS #APTS
Keypoints
- Hackers can remotely compromise smart buses through unsegmented networks and default credentials.
- Vulnerabilities include command injections and an MQTT backdoor for remote access.
- Attackers could manipulate GPS, engine data, or passenger information, causing operational disruptions.
- The findings were presented at DEF CON by researchers from Trend Micro Taiwan and CHT Security.
- Affected systems may be widespread, but vendors have not responded to disclosures, leaving the issues unpatched.
