NISSAN COMPUTER SECURITY VIOLATED: Car app source codes stolen.
At Nissan North America they made it big: they uploaded the source codes and car apps to the Git server without changing the password and login username, which remained "Admin / Admin", thus allowing hackers to enter without any difficulty. They could use the combination of the Solarwind security software house, which was Solarwind123, which was already taken, as well as the famous Spaceball password:
The software whose source code has been stolen are numerous and quite important in the management of the IT component of cars. A partial list includes:
- NISSAN App for cars;
- parts of the ASIST car diagnostic tool;
- the Dealer Business Systems / Dealer Portal
- The Nissan internal core library
- Nissan / Infiniti NCAR / ICAR services
- marketing tools
- sales / market tools
- the logistics portal
The theft of "Source Codes" is very dangerous. A good programmer can use them to then hack programs on normal cars. You would like your car to send you incorrect fault reports, or to deactivate essential components at the request of third parties.
Nissan said it is aware of the problem. Fine thanks
