Whatever is happening must be either locking the attendant out or is leaving the attendants machine in a bad state with the pump running switch &amp;quot;on&amp;quot; so to speak.
I wonder if it&amp;#x27;s actually NFC. It&amp;#x27;d be interesting to see what a Flipper Zero would come up with.</text><parent_chain><item><author>kotaKat</author><text>Is it actually Bluetooth, or did they get their hands on keys or remotes for the dispenser?&lt;p&gt;The dispensers have constant real-time communication to the forecourt controller and the attendant inside. What are they showing when this &amp;quot;hack&amp;quot; happens? Are the attackers taking the RS485 line down (which would show the pump offline immediately inside) and forcing the pump to manually dispense?&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d kill to see some more actual information than this. I am not aware of a single pump on the market with Bluetooth right now but I do remember some IR-based remotes for some old Wayne pumps.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Detroit man steals 800 gallons using Bluetooth to hack gas pumps at station</title><url>https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/detroit-man-steals-800-gallons-using-bluetooth-to-hack-gas-pumps-at-station</url></story>
