Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a set of four security flaws in OpenSynergy’s BlueSDK Bluetooth stack that, if successfully exploited, could allow remote code execution on millions of transport vehicles from different vendors. The vulnerabilities, dubbed PerfektBlue, can be fashioned together as an exploit chain to run arbitrary code on cars from at least three major […]
Private storage account refers to a cloud storage account that is not publicly accessible over the internet access is restricted to ensure data confidentiality and security.
