thewayneTesla is a sponsor this year and gamely threw their hat/car into the ring. And were hacked twice by the same team of security researchers.
The first hack involved the charging system, and enabled them to open the doors and the frunk (front trunk). They were awarded the car for this particular hack. The second hack was through the infotainment system. Either hack was enough to render the car unsafe.
One of the key elements of this competition is the teams reveal all their hacking techniques for this attack to the system owners so they can improve the security of their systems. And the teams are pretty well compensated for their work.
This is nothing new with Tesla, their cars have been hacked before, and I just posted the article about the two guys parking side by side and driving away with each other's cars.
