In 2019, Mercedes-Benz revealed that it had patched security issues found in its vehicles.

A report reveals that Sky-Go’s researchers had found 19 vulnerabilities in a Mercedes E-Class car. The findings raise the concern that the cyber-security for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) is not being taken seriously enough. Jia Jen Low, writing for TechHQ in her 12th August 2020 article, Mercedes-Benz security bug — a sign of connected vehicle security issues? comments: “Last year, Mercedes announced that it had patched security issues found in its vehicles, and a recently-published report revealed researchers had found 19 vulnerabilities in a Mercedes E-Class car. A team of security researchers at the Sky-Go Team detailed the way they were able to form an attack chain and remotely take control of the vehicle.”

Due to editorial and corporate mergers, this article is no longer available online.
