Tesla cloud resources are hacked to run cryptocurrency-mining malware

The cryptocurrency mining stuff is not the real issue, though. This is the concerning part:

Besides allowing attackers to run the mining malware, RedLock said the breach also exposed certain non-public Tesla data, including sensitive telemetry information related to Tesla cars.

Tesla's response:

"The impact seems to be limited to internally-used engineering test cars only, and our initial investigation found no indication that customer privacy or vehicle safety or security was compromised in any way."
