Hackers exploiting vulnerabilities in digital license plates can manipulate them to avoid paying tolls and traffic violations, as demonstrated by security researcher Josep Rodriguez. By jailbreaking Reviver’s digital license plates, users can alter the plate’s firmware through a simple process, allowing them to change the displayed plate number via a smartphone app. This loophole not only enables users to dodge fines but also poses a threat by potentially pinning violations on innocent drivers. Rodriguez warns that the ability to alter license plate numbers jeopardizes the efficiency of enforcement systems like tolls and surveillance cameras, leading to severe consequences such as evading accountability for criminal activities.
