Tesla has issued another “over-the-air recall,” and this time it’s on more than 48,000 Model 3 Performance vehicles over a problem with “track mode.” Lately, Tesla has had to issue a lot of recalls, but most of them were minor issues that were fixed by simple over-the-air software updates.

The malware uses the same shared-hosting infrastructure that was previously found to be used by a team of Russian hackers known as Turla. However, it is unclear whether the Russian state-supported group has a direct relation with the newly discovered malware. It reaches through a malicious APK file that works as an Android spyware and performs actions in the background,…
