Tesla: Security Gap Alerts Elon Musk: "Everything hackable will get hacked"

Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent an email to all employees warning that anything that can be hacked will be hacked, citing a post by Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel. Rauch had warned of a vulnerability in Artifactory, a software program used by many corporations, which could allow attackers to inject malicious code into any program built from it.

The vulnerability was confirmed by the German Federal Office for Information Security, and JFrog distributed corrections for the software. Musk's email came as Tesla has increased its use of AI and implemented new security measures, including restricting mobile device access to the company's WLAN.
