A year ago, two security researchers discovered vulnerabilities in a Subaru web portal that allowed them to hijack car controls and track driver location data, according to a Wired report.

Researchers found a serious security vulnerability in Subaru’s Starlink system late last year. It enabled full access to private data including location, emergency contacts, call history, and more. Subaru patched the vulnerability within 24 hours but left broader privacy concerns unresolved.
