Researchers Could Track the GPS Location of All of California’s New
Digital License Plates
After gaining access to a powerful administrative account, the
researchers could perform all sorts of tasks inside Reviver, the sole
company that sells the digital plates in California.

A team of security researchers managed to gain “super administrative access” into Reviver, the company behind California’s new digital
license plates which launched last year. That access allowed them to
track the physical GPS location of all Reviver customers and change a
section of text at the bottom of the license plate designed for
personalized messages to whatever they wished, according to a blog
post from the researchers.
