Hackers can seize control of Xiaomi scooters by exploiting security flaw - sunjester - 02-19-2019
Quote:According to security researchers at Zimperium, an attacker only has to be within 100 meters of such a vehicle to carry out the hack. Researchers released a proof-of-concept (PoC) for the attack, which impacts Xiaomi M365 scooters.

This is really scary, as a xiaomi fan, I'm honestly quite disappointed as this is not the quality they normally deliver.

I love Xiaomi products, but yeah this is definitely a step below their normal quality. However, security flaws can exist in any product from something as cheap as DOOGEE to as high quality as Apple.
Still a scary thing to be out there.
