Even connected car head units are being targeted by hackers now — experts warn in-car systems are at risk of being hijacked into a botnet
Kaspersky has identified the first malware campaign built specifically to target Android-based car head units, linking it to the MoYu Group behind the BadBox botnet. Attackers hijacked a legitimate software update channel in DoFun-manufactured devices to silently deliver malware capable of ad fraud, displaying unwanted ads, and harvesting device data. The malware runs invisibly with no user-facing interface. DoFun says the issue has since been resolved on most affected devices.
