R00TK1T hacker grop claims attack on Go To-U, a prominent provider in the electric vehicle (EV) charging sector. The hackers published screenshots suggesting unauthorized access to the backend system of TNBX and TNB Electron EV chargers operated on the Go To-U platform.
Despite the claims, Go To-U Malaysia, under the management of Roda Emas Industries (REISB), stated that no customer data, transaction data, or charger operations were compromised. It must be noted that at least one DC fast charger that was listed in the R00TK1T's announcement was taken offline and remains offline.
The Go To-U Chief Product Officer clarified that the screenshots shared by R00TK1T did not prove any access to the TNB partner’s back office. Per the statement, even if there had been access to a partner’s back office, the issue was immediately neutralized by changing all relevant passwords, emphasizing that such access would not equate to penetration of the Go To-U platform’s backend or sensitive data.
Go To-U Malaysia claims that following a thorough investigation, all chargers on the Go To-U platform remain accessible and functional, debunking the claims of an attack on the country’s EV charging infrastructure.
