Smart vehicle users can use many applications such as security camera, radio connection, telephone connection more quickly and effectively in their vehicles supported by 5G technology. The biggest threat for users, who can access all applications within seconds and give directions with the commands they give, is seen as software updates or new hardware additions to the car.
The automotive world has been going through a period where IoT technology and autonomous vehicles have been talked about frequently in recent years. Finally, WatchGuard Turkey and Greece Country Manager Yusuf Evmez, who draws attention to the fact that smart vehicles enriched with 5G technology attract the attention of hackers and that the hardware problems faced by users are increasing day by day, warns smart vehicle owners against the threat of hacking in-vehicle systems with software updates or technological changes.
With the spread of IoT technology and the increase in autonomous vehicles, the automotive industry has started to form one of the biggest uses of 5G technology. WatchGuard Turkey and Greece Country Manager Yusuf Evmez pointed out that significant technological advances have been made in the automotive field with the statement “Increasing demands and new laws around the world cause automobile manufacturers to add more connectivity technologies to vehicles.” It highlights what you brought. “It is necessary to realize how important and under threat IoT and 5G technologies are in order for vehicles to provide their users with a safe and smooth driving experience.” Evmez also comments that the currently used technologies will not meet the needs of these data consumption monster vehicles and may be insufficient in terms of security.
Cars with 5G are on Hackers' Radar
Smart vehicle users can use many applications such as security camera, radio connection, telephone connection more quickly and effectively in their vehicles supported by 5G technology. The biggest threat for users, who can access all applications within seconds and give directions with the commands they give, is seen as software updates or new hardware additions to the car. “Any update for hackers has become an attack opportunity.” WatchGuard Turkey and Greece Country Manager Yusuf Evmez points out that hackers, by evaluating security vulnerabilities that may occur during updates, damage systems by blocking commands such as camera, in-car entertainment systems, starting and stopping the vehicle. According to Evmez, who stated that as a result of the technological attacks, the applications in the vehicles became inoperable, the systems were damaged and even caused financial losses to the extent that the parts were replaced, according to Evmez.
Your 5G Smart Car Can Be Hacked Even While It's Charging!
Among the cyber security predictions prepared by the WatchGuard Threat Lab in the past, attention was drawn to the increase in cyber attacks against smart vehicles. The foresight determined continues to show itself increasingly day by day. WatchGuard Turkey and Greece Country Manager Yusuf Evmez points out that there has been an increase in smart vehicle attacks, while the biggest potential weak point is the smart charger. Stating that smart car charging cables have a data component that helps them manage charging safety, Evmez points out that “booby-trapped” mobile chargers can be created by hackers and warns vehicle owners that vehicles can be hacked suddenly.
