Vulnerability is not in Tesla’s vehicles or the company’s network but in third party application

David Colombo, a 19-year-old cybersecurity researcher in Germany, came upon the biggest discovery of his young career by accident.

The discovery, which Colombo published on Twitter this week, triggered a vigorous discussion online as the latest example of hacking risks associated with the so-called Internet of Things, where seemingly every product - from refrigerators to doorbells - now have an internet connection. Tesla didn’t respond to requests for comment. Colombo said a member of the company’s security team contacted him and that he shared his findings. A spokesperson for the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has been in contact with Tesla about the matter and that the agency’s cybersecurity technical team would assist with the evaluation and review of the information.

Bored by school, he said he and his father successfully petitioned the government when he was 15 to allow him to go just two days per week and spend the rest of his time expanding his cybersecurity skills and building a consulting firm, which he named Colombo Technology. Since then, researchers have disclosed numerous other hacking risks they’ve discovered with the sophisticated electronics that are increasingly being added to automobiles.
