As part of my Bachelor’s thesis I hacked a popular electric scooter. The scooter uses Bluetooth Low Energy to communicate to a user’s mobile phone, where they can control the scooter and upload firmware updates. We managed to reproduce attacks which would allow an unauthorised attacker the ability to lock and control someone else’s scooter. I was interviewed by Swedish national news about the scooter hack and our published thesis has several thousand downloads and a handful of citations. You can check out my Bachelor’s thesis here.
