In the US learned how to hack a car wash

Computer security researchers Billy Rios and Jonathan Batts learned how to fix automatic touchless popular in USA carwash PDQ LaserWash. This they told Motherboard.

The LaserWash car wash is unattended, the driver selects the mode of the sink and waits until the robotic arm moving around the car, wash it. Door on entry and exit from the car wash can automatically open in the morning and close in the evening.

Here is a demonstration of the car “first person” (not very interesting):

During the download an error has occurred.

Control system the car wash is running on Windows CE. It is connected to the Internet so that a technician could remotely diagnose. Researchers found the vulnerability.

The default password for entering the system was very easy to pick up. After that, they were able to control the gate and robotic arms. For example, they can remotely close one or both doors, thus trapping the car inside the car wash. Or damage the car, closing the door when her car passes. Hackers can also remotely make the car wash to spray water or to beat the mechanical arm on the car, preventing the driver from leaving.
