Amazon denies risk in Amazon Key — while it is working to fix it

in #patch8 years ago

After a failed attempt at disclosure with Amazon, where it demanded to see a PoC and refused the possibility of any reward or payment, MG took to Twitter and uploaded the video showing how Amazon Key can be exploited by “anyone with a raspberry pie.”

Once the video was posted, Amazon finally reached out to him and is currently working on a fix to the vulnerability.

While MG is withholding technical details until Amazon has a chance to fix the issue, the video shows how a hacker can easily enter a house enabled with Amazon Key.

Amazon also told Forbes that the hack involves “disrupting Wi-Fi connections used by the Key system, not Amazon software. The Raspberry Pi does some as yet undisclosed deauthorization, which would indicate a disconnection between the various pieces of the Amazon Key setup.”
