Mitsubishi Outlander Car’s Theft Alarm Hacked through Wi-Fi

Hackers were able to hack the Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Hackers could access the vehicle remotely and turn off car alarms before potentially stealing it. The company says it is working with Pen Test Partners to fix the issue permanently. The name of each Outlander’s Wi-Fi network is distinctive and the name of its network is also distinctive, making it more difficult to hack to find a car. A short-term fix for car owners is to unpair all devices from their vehicle’s WiFi module.
