Tesla Model S

While modern cars with more digital components are inevitable, that means it could open the way for hackers to find ways to take control of your car or access it remotely. So it appears that Teslahave some vulnerabilities, according to Nitesh Dhanjani, an enterprise security consultant and Tesla vehicle owner.

He revealed the flaws during an interview in Singapore after claiming to have conducted a study himself. According to his findings, hackers could unlock the car remotely via a command given over the internet. This is done by compromising the password that Tesla owners use to set up their account, which can also be used to unlock the car.

In fact, Dhanjani stated that password hacking is not dissimilar to cracking computer passwords through malware.
