Subaru Security Flaws Exposed Its System for Tracking Millions of Cars
Security researchers discovered vulnerabilities in Subaru’s Starlink service that allowed them to track the locations of millions of cars, gaining access to up to a year's worth of detailed location data, including sensitive personal visits. Sam Curry and Shubham Shah demonstrated flaws that let them hijack car controls and access location histories by exploiting administrative weaknesses in Subaru's system. Though Subaru has since fixed the vulnerabilities, concerns remain about privacy regarding employee access to location data. Similar vulnerabilities have affected multiple automakers, highlighting broader issues in the automotive industry regarding data privacy and security.
