Hyundai App Bugs Allowed Hackers To Remotely Unlock, Start Cars
The mobile apps of Hyundai and Genesis, named MyHyundai and MyGenesis, allow authenticated users to start, stop, lock, and unlock their vehicles. After intercepting the traffic generated from the two apps, the researchers analyzed it and were able to extract API calls for further investigation. They found that validation of the owner is done based on the user’s email address, which was included in the JSON body of POST requests. Next, the analysts discovered that MyHyundai did not require email confirmation upon registration. They created a new account using the target’s email address with an additional control character at the end. Finally, they sent an HTTP request to Hyundai’s endpoint containing the spoofed address in the JSON token and the victim’s address in the JSON body, bypassing the validity check. To verify that they could use this access for an attack on the car, they tried to unlock a Hyundai car used for the research. A few seconds later, the car unlocked. The multi-step attack was eventually baked into a custom Python script, which only needed the target’s email address for the attack.
Yuga Labs analysts found that the mobile apps for Acura, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Nissan, Subaru, and Toyota, use SiriusXM technology to implement remote vehicle management features. They inspected the network traffic from Nissan’s app and found that it was possible to send forged HTTP requests to the endpoint only by knowing the target’s vehicle identification number (VIN). The response to the unauthorized request contained the target’s name, phone number, address, and vehicle details. Considering that VINs are easy to locate on parked cars, typically visible on a plate where the dashboard meets the windshield, an attacker could easily access it. These identification numbers are also available on specialized car selling websites, for potential buyers to check the vehicle’s history. In addition to information disclosure, the requests can also carry commands to execute actions on the cars. […] Before posting the details, Yuga Labs informed both Hyundai and SiriusXM of the flaws and associated risks. The two vendors have fixed the vulnerabilities.

While everyone else was in the jungle uniform of khaki shirts and red shorts, George was seen grinning in a hat like looked like it had exploded at the top.
A show insider revealed tonight that the singer – famous for songs including Karma Chameleon – simply asked producers if he could customise his outfit.

FAA says Apple AirTags are allowed in checked baggage
Don’t worry that you might not be allowed to slip an Apple AirTag into your luggage for your next flight. As The Points Guy notes, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has stated that AirTags are allowed on checked baggage. Any item tracker whose battery has under 0.3g of lithium is clear to fly. You can track your suitcase without fear of the airline taking action.
The clarification comes after worries Lufthansa might ban active AirTags in baggage. There were concerns the German carrier would interpret the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) guidance to forbid any lithium-powered tracker that can’t be turned off, including AirTags. There was speculation Lufthansa wanted to forbid the tags to mask problems with lost luggage and other air travel problems. However, ICAO can only issue guidelines — it’s up to officials to adopt and enforce rules, and there are none pertaining to these devices in Germany or the US.
Lufthansa issued its own statement clarifying that Apple’s devices are allowed on flights. Both the airline and German regulators have determined that item trackers with small batteries and low power “do not pose a safety risk.” The company added that it sought exemptions for AirTags and similar tags for checked luggage restrictions.
The FAA and Lufthansa statements theoretically settle the matter. While we wouldn’t completely rule out governments or airlines altering their stance, there haven’t been any reports of fires or other incidents that would prompt a change of heart. You can safely use AirTags, Tile trackers and similar find-my-stuff products to provide some reassurance during your next vacation.
Rob Zombie Says He Wasn’t Allowed To Shoot The Munsters In Black And White
Rob Zombie’s new comedy The Munsters, based on the 1960s family sitcom of the same name, was released Tuesday. According to a new Variety profile, because Universal wouldn’t approve the project if it was filmed in black-and-white as the musician and writer-director wanted, he instead went for a garish and “ludicrously colorful, hyper-saturated aesthetic” for his reimagining of the classic show.
“Sometimes you’re dealt a certain scenario,” Zombie said. “You can walk away from it, but that doesn’t create anything. You can figure out how to deal with it… Sometimes you create something you would have never created.”
In GameSpot’s review of The Munsters, reviewer Chris E. Hayner observes that “when it was first announced that Rob Zombie would be adapting the classic TV series The Munsters as a movie, there were understandable fears… [but] Rob Zombie made a comedy and it absolutely works.” Adds Hayner, the film is a “campy departure from the norm” and “not the movie you think it is.”
Trump may be allowed back on Facebook early next year
Your conservative cousin and Q-pilled family members may start filling up your Facebook feed with Trump posts once again.
On Thursday, Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, signaled that the the social media network may soon let Donald Trump back on the platform. The company will make its decision as soon as January 2023.
The former president was suspended from the platform last year in the aftermath of the pro-Trump riots at the Capitol building on January 6.
Clegg’s comments were made at a Washington, D.C. event hosted by the digital news startup Semafor. They mark the first time Facebook has alluded to this possibility since Facebook’s Oversight Board forced the platform to commit to a timeline for the suspension.
The specter of Trump’s return to Facebook has been a known possibility for a while now. Facebook kicked the proverbial can down the road two years ago in order to give the company time to make a decision.
In May 2021, the Oversight Board, which makes recommendations concerning content moderation decisions on Facebook’s platform, took on the Trump case and upheld the suspension. It also said that Facebook needed to announce an outright ban of Trump’s account or provide a timeframe in which the suspension would be lifted. Since Jan. 7, 2021, Trump’s Facebook account has been viewable by users. However, neither Trump nor anyone else in his orbit has been able to access the account to post new content.
Facebook announced that Trump’s suspension would last for two years in June 2021. At the time, Facebook said that lifting the suspension would require an assessment on the risk to public safety and that the company would continue to block Trump’s access until that risk dissipated.
Clegg reiterated those concerns at the D.C. event, saying Facebook “will talk to experts, weigh the risk of real world harm and act proportionally.”
Lifting the suspension in January of next year would mean Trump wouldn’t be able to post for the midterm elections, but would be back on the social media network in time for his own potential presidential campaign for the 2024 election.
Since the events of January 6, other social media companies have also suspended Trump from their platforms. Twitter banned Trump permanently after the insurrection attempt. (Although, Elon Musk has said he would reverse Trump’s ban if he was actually to go through with acquiring Twitter.) YouTube took a Facebook-like approach and has suspended Trump until the “risk of violence decreased.” To date, Trump is still unable to access his YouTube account.
These platforms’ actions eventually led the former president to create his own conservative social network called Truth Social, where he currently has 4 million followers. For comparison, Trump currently has more than 34 million followers on his still-suspended Facebook page.
In recent months, Trump has increasingly shared more and more content on Truth Social related to the far-right-wing conspiracy group, QAnon. Facebook banned this type of content in 2020.
Will Facebook continue Trump’s suspension? Will his recent online activity play a role in such a decision? Or has Facebook reached the point where it feels it can’t keep kicking that can? According to Clegg, we will soon find out.
