White hat hackers have breached Tesla cars twice in the Pwn2Own hackathon.
The researchers were awarded $350,000 and a Model 3 for the feat.
According to reports, a Tesla security response team was present at the event and is expected to report and patch the security flaws.
- The security researchers breached Tesla's security system on two separate occasions.
- In the first breach, they identified a time-of-check to time-of-use flaw, while the second time, they took advantage of a heap overflow and an out-of-band write vulnerability.
- The team was paid $100,000 for the first breach and $250,000 for the second one.
- These white hat hackers are part of the French company Synacktiv.
