An easy phishing attack using a Flipper Zero device can lead to compromising Tesla accounts, unlocking cars, and starting them. The attack works on the latest Tesla app, version 4.30.6, and Tesla software version 11.1 2024.2.7.

    “While the researchers performed this phishing attack using a Flipper Zero, it could easily be done with other devices like Raspberry Pi and Android phones.”

    Or like, a laptop. But I guess poor flipper is popular to demonize now.

      Also if it’s a wifi attack you need the wifi devboard. It’s cheaper and probably easier to use a shitty old phone.

      Yes, scammers have been setting up fake WiFi networks for phishing for just about as long as there has been WiFi. Let’s just blame it all on Flipper Zero though.
