Ridgewood NJ, Peloton be warned a new security threat relating to the touchscreen on their Bike+ that could potentially be controlled by hackers.
In a report released Wednesday, cybersecurity company McAfee discovered a vulnerability that allows hackers to access Peloton’s bike screen and potentially spy on riders using its microphone and camera.
The threat is most likely to affect the $2,495 bike used in public spaces, such as in hotels or gyms, because the hacker needs to physically access the screen using a USB drive containing a malicious code.
According to McAfee’s Advanced Threat Research team, a hacker can discreetly control the stationary bike’s screen remotely and interfere with its operating system. That means hackers could, for example, install apps that look like Netflix or Spotify and steal the users’ log-in information.
Even more alarmingly, the cybersecurity team was able spy on users via the camera and microphone, which is normally used for video chats with other users.
