But while convenient to control your car from your phone, it&#8217;s also opened up new points for attack &#8212; which could have real-world consequences.<\/p>\n<p>You might not even realize you&#8217;re a Calamp user. Many apps, including the vehicle tracking app Viper SmartStart, which lets users locate, start, and control their car from their phone, connects to the outside world using a Calamp modem to its cloud-based servers.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vipersmartstart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Viper mobile app<\/a>, while secure, was connecting to two different servers &#8212; one used by Viper, and another run by Calamp.<\/p>\n<p>Using the same credentials as the app, the researchers were also able to log in and gain complete access to the Calamp server, the researchers said <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@evstykas\/remote-smart-car-hacking-with-just-a-phone-2fe7ca682162\" target=\"_blank\">in their write-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You could easily exploit it and as we had full access to the database,&#8221; said Stykas in an email. &#8220;We could do a lot of stuff &#8212; pretty much any scenario that we could think of was disastrous, like mass stealing cars or turning off vehicle via panic button when going with a high speed,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>By querying the database, Stykas said it was possible to find a car by looking up nearby latitude and longitude coordinates, reset the password, unlock the driver&#8217;s side door, start the engine, and drive away.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/flaw-connected-alarm-system-exposed-vehicles-remote-hacking\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"welcome.jpg\" height=\"auto\" width=\"770\" data-original=\" https:\/\/zdnet2.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2018\/05\/17\/d5fdc29a-9ab8-4d5e-8051-e51c79aca256\/resize\/770xauto\/20fe57554f11f806a062fd46bf2278b4\/welcome.jpg\"\/><\/span><noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img aspect-set\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet2.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2018\/05\/17\/d5fdc29a-9ab8-4d5e-8051-e51c79aca256\/resize\/770xauto\/20fe57554f11f806a062fd46bf2278b4\/welcome.jpg\" class=\"\" alt=\"welcome.jpg\" height=\"auto\" width=\"770\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">Calamp&#8217;s back-end database. (Image: supplied)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stykas shared several screenshots with <em>ZDNet<\/em> of the server, which included vehicle history reports, alarm sounding histories, and payment charts.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers said that they could track the location history of every vehicle in the database, even though the logged in user had limited, mostly read-only permissions. They could also see usernames and masked passwords, but had no way to export the data.<\/p>\n<p>The bug was fixed after the researchers contacted the company.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Calamp said it patched the flaw and continues to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Calamp takes the matter of IT and data security seriously. Once we received the bug report, our team promptly investigated and developed a patch to address it. We believe that this matter has been resolved without issue,&#8221; the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>Calamp has since added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calamp.com\/bug-report\/\" target=\"_blank\">a new bug reporting page<\/a> following the disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>Stykas said he wasn&#8217;t sure how many companies or vehicles were affected by the server bug. Calamp says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calamp.com\/company\/\" target=\"_blank\">on its site<\/a> that it actively manages more than 7 million devices.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not the first instance of car hacking we&#8217;ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, hackers took <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/hackers-hijack-jeeps-once-more-your-brakes-belong-to-them\/\" target=\"_blank\">full control<\/a> of the brakes on a Jeep Cherokee, which caused controversy after <a href=\"https:\/\/splinternews.com\/wireds-highway-jeep-hacking-stunt-was-an-amazing-story-1793849341\" target=\"_blank\">testing the hack<\/a> on a highway. That research largely opened the floodgates to a new focus on car hacking. Last year, an unpatchable flaw on most modern cars put drivers at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-secure-is-your-car-unpatchable-flaw-lets-attackers-disable-safety-features\/\" target=\"_blank\">risk from a vulnerability<\/a> that could disable safety features, like switching off the airbag.<\/p>\n<p>Infotainment systems are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/vw-audi-security-multiple-infotainment-flaws-could-give-attackers-remote-access\/\" target=\"_blank\">a prime target for hackers<\/a>, which can be targeted
