Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) has conducted a mock training exercise simulating vehicle cyber intrusion incidents together with Hyundai Motor and Kia, according to a fact-check that confirmed the drill took place as described.
The simulation exercise, organized by KISA, was carried out jointly with the two automakers and centered on cyberattacks targeting vehicles โ an area of growing concern as cars become more connected and software-dependent. The drill was framed as a mock incident-response training rather than a response to an actual breach, with participants rehearsing how to detect and handle a vehicle hacking incident.
KISA, the state-affiliated agency responsible for internet and cybersecurity policy, has made automotive security one of its focus areas as Korean automakers expand connected-car services.
The report was checked against 7 primary sources, which corroborated that KISA staged the mock exercise on vehicle cyber intrusion incidents in cooperation with Hyundai Motor and Kia. No element of the claim was contradicted by the reviewed record. The claim that KISA conducted a joint mock vehicle cyberattack drill with Hyundai Motor and Kia is True.
