The Perils of Overestimating the Security of Your APIs
In 2019, I hacked 30 bank mobile apps and APIs in coordination with domestic and international financial services and FinTech companies. In 2020-2021, I hacked 30 mobile health (mHealth) apps and FHIR APIs in coordination with healthcare providers, giving me access to thousands of patient records via their APIs due to broken authentication and authorization vulnerabilities. This year, in coordination with federal and state law enforcement agencies, I was able to take remote control of law enforcement vehicles through the automaker’s APIs.
