Kia website flaw meant cars could be hacked, say researchers

Last week, a team of independent security researchers published their discovery of a flaw in the car brand Kia’s web portal. It could be exploited to track and remotely control dozens of models.

Thanks to the vulnerability on the website, the researchers could hack a car in about 30 seconds, just by using its license plate. It did not matter if the car had an active Kia Connect subscription or not.
