A Game Boy Speedometer, just because you can.

The “world’s worst digital dash”, a Nintendo Game Boy as a digital speedometer. Interfacing the handheld with the vehicle’s CAN bus system, this project has something to offer.

Months of work have gone into decoding the Game Boy’s data bus and creating a schematic for the interface board. Tricking the Game Boy into thinking it was loading a game, while actually displaying incoming speed data. The screen’s low resolution and slow refresh rate rendered it barely readable in a moving vehicle. But [John]’s goal wasn’t practicality — it was just proving it could be done.

Showing real-time vehicle speed on the Game Boy sounds like it should be relatively easy, but the iconic game system wasn’t exactly built for such a task. Its 2 MHz CPU and 160×144 pixel dot-matrix screen were every kid’s dream in 1989, but using it as a car dashboard is pushing it. To bridge that gap, [John] designed two custom circuit boards.

One interfaces with the Game Boy, intercepting its memory requests and feeding it data from a microcontroller. The other processes the CAN bus signals, translating speed information into a form the Game Boy can display. [John] used inexpensive tools and software to read the CAN bus data, and used GBDK-2020 to write the software in C.

Customer Data from 800,000 Electric Cars and Owners exposed Online.

Terabytes of Volkswagen customer details in Amazon cloud storage remained unprotected for months, allowing anyone with little technical knowledge to track drivers movement or gather personal information.

Volkswagen’s automotive software company [Cariad], exposed data collected from around 800,000 electric cars. The info could be linked to drivers names and reveal precise vehicle locations [for some of them being as precise as a few centimeters]. The exposed databases include details for VW, Seat, Audi and Skoda vehicles.

Cariad was informed on November 26 of the issue by the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), the largest organization of ethical hackers in Europe that for more than 30 years has promoted security, privacy, and free access to information.

Access to the car data was possible due to Cariad’s incorrect configuration in two IT applications, a company representative said.

The CCC hackers could access the data only after bypassing several security mechanisms that required significant time and technical expertise. Additionally, because individual vehicle data was pseudonymized for privacy purposes, the CCC hackers had to combine different data sets to associate the details with a particular user.
A Cariad representative said that the exposed data affected only vehicles connected to the internet and had been registered for online services. From the nearly 800,000 vehicles exposed, the researchers found geo-location data for 460,000 cars, for some of them with an accuracy of ten centimeters.

Most of the affected vehicles, 300,000 of them, were in Germany but the researchers also found details about cars in Norway (80,000), Sweden (68,000), the United Kingdom (63,000), the Netherlands (61,000), France (53,000), Belgium (68,000) and Denmark (35,000).

Cariad said that its security team reacted quickly to fix the problem and closed access the same day the CCC sent them the report. CCC representatives confirmed that Cariad’s “technical team responded quickly, thoroughly and responsibly” and that the company reacted within hours of receiving the technical details.

Based on the results of its investigation, Cariad has no evidence suggesting that other parties, except the CCC hackers, had access to the exposed vehicle data or that the information had been misused by a third party.

An “extensive” police operation was underway after dozens of people were injured when a car plowed through a Christmas market in a city in eastern Germany. Officials say up to 80 people may be injured, and they suspect the act was intentional. Read more from @NBCNews

Researchers find Security Flaws in Skoda Cars that may let Threat Actors remotely track them.

IT-Security researchers have discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the infotainment units used in some Skoda cars that could allow malicious actors to remotely trigger certain controls and track the car’s location in real time.

PCAutomotive, a cybersecurity firm specializing in the automotive sector, unveiled 12 new security vulnerabilities impacting the latest model of the Skoda Superb III sedan. This comes a year after the organization disclosed 9 other vulnerabilities affecting the same model. Skoda is a car brand owned by German automobile giant Volkswagen.

The vulnerabilities, discovered in the vehicle’s MIB3 infotainment unit, could allow attackers to achieve unrestricted code execution and run malicious code every time the unit starts. This could let an attacker obtain live vehicle GPS coordinates and speed data, record conversations via the in-car microphone, take screenshots of the infotainment display and play arbitrary sounds in the car.

The researchers noted that the vulnerable MIB3 units are used in multiple Volkswagen and Skoda models, and based on public sales data, estimates there are potentially more than 1.4 million vulnerable vehicles out there.

One thing we know for sure: building and widening highways always succeeds in helping sell more cars, gas and suburban sprawl; burning more public budgets; and increasing GHG emissions. So if those are your goals, it’s the perfect thing to do.

Just don’t expect it to reduce traffic.
