Cloud security company RedLock found the incident and notified Tesla, which now confirms that hackers have breached its cloud computing platform to mine cryptocurrency.
The Tesla corporation resolved the vulnerability that the hackers used to infiltrate their cloud servers and install a cryptocurrency miner.
With a Kubernetes console that was apparently not password-protected, the attackers were able to access Tesla's Amazon Web Services environment.
The Tesla engineers were responsible for the security breech, according to RedLock, as they neglected to add an authentication system to the Kubernetes console.
