🚨 Hackers Earn $129,500 In A Single Day Targeting Tesla At Pwn2Own! 🚨
The legendary Pwn2Own hacking competition is back - and this time, cars are in the spotlight.
✅ Security researchers uncovered multiple vulnerabilities in Tesla systems.
✅ The total payout for Tesla-related exploits on Day 1: $129,500.
✅ These flaws ranged from potential remote code execution (RCE) to privilege escalation and infotainment system bypasses.
Discoveries like these are not malicious - instead, they give companies like Tesla a chance to patch flaws before real attackers can exploit them.
With modern cars being as much computers on wheels as vehicles, securing them is more important than ever.
👉 Bottom Line: Hackers walked away with $129,500 in one day, Tesla gets safer, and the world sees how critical ethical hacking is for the future of cybersecurity and automotive safety.

🔹 What is Pwn2Own?
Pwn2Own is a world-class hacking event, first launched in 2007. It gathers the best ethical hackers and security researchers from around the globe. Competitors race against time to find zero-day vulnerabilities - security flaws unknown to the software or hardware vendor.🔹 This Year’s Twist - Automotive Focus 🚗
For the second year in a row, Trend Micro’s Zero-Day Initiative has dedicated an entire Pwn2Own event to automobiles. From January 22–24, in Tokyo, hackers tested their skills on connected cars, EV systems, and more.🔹 Tesla In The Crosshairs ⚡
