Tesla Wall Connector Hacked TWICE at Pwn2Own: What Does This Mean for EV Security?
The Tesla Wall Connector, seemingly impenetrable, has been breached not once, but twice at the Pwn2Own Tokyo 2025 hacking competition. This raises some serious questions about the future of EV charging security. Are these isolated incidents, or are we looking at a systemic vulnerability across EV charging infrastructure?
While the details are still emerging, the fact that multiple teams successfully exploited zero-day vulnerabilities is concerning. Does this signal a need for Tesla to reassess its security protocols? How might this impact consumer confidence in the safety and reliability of EV charging?
This also begs the larger question: are we prepared for the security challenges of a rapidly expanding EV landscape? With more and more charging stations popping up, are we creating a larger attack surface for malicious actors? What steps need to be taken, both by manufacturers and consumers, to mitigate these risks?
Let’s discuss. What are your thoughts on this latest development? Do you think this will spur significant changes in the EV security landscape? Share your predictions and insights below.
