Electric scooter made by Xiaomi is prone to be hacked
News24xx.com - Xiaomi not only produce a smartphone, this brand also produces an electric scooter with the name, Xiaomi M365. But this popular electric scooter seems to have a vulnerability that could be exploited by hackers. Based on information released by the security research group, Zimperium, Xiaomi M365 has a loophole that can be exploited by hackers to hijack scooter control.
Zimperium said this loophole was caused by a password authentication that used Bluetooth. "During our research, we found that passwords are not used properly as part of the authentication process with scooters and all orders can be run without a password" Zimperium said in an official statement, as quoted from CNET, on Wednesday, February 13th 2019.
Zimperium researchers say that they can interact with various systems owned by Xiaomi M365 without the need for authentication, such as anti-theft, cruise control and eco mode systems. In addition, they can also update their firmware without authentication. Zimperium also showed a video where they scanned Xiaomi's scooters around and deactivated the scooter through an anti-theft feature.
They can issue orders to manipulate scooters within the distance of up to 100 meters. This electric scooter is one of the most popular scooters in the United States because it is widely used by ride-sharing service providers such as Bird. It is not known exactly how many fleets are using, but ride-sharing companies usually use these scooters and Segway ES in their fleet.
