Also Hackable: Drive-Through Car Washes

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-everything-needs-a-web-interface dept.

PLAR writes It turns out LaserWash automatic car washes can be easily hacked via the Internet to get a free wash or to manipulate the machines that clean the cars, a security researcher has found. Billy Rios says these car washes have web interfaces with weak/default passwords which, if obtained, could allow an attacker to telnet in and use an HTTP GET request to control the machines. Rios adds that this probably isn't the only car wash brand that's vulnerable.

    The North Korean hackers will love this. Since they can't wash their own cars, they can wash ours.
