By changing several values, the pair were able to effectively shift the point of impact to their whim, all without the user\u2019s knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Sandvik and Auger exploited the device\u2019s Wi-Fi connection, which is normally used to stream a live video feed from the TrackingPoint scope to a nearby computer. Once inside the system, the pair forced the scope\u2019s computer to recalculate trajectory by modifying the bullet\u2019s weight and wind.<\/p>\n<p>With two targets set up side by side, they were able to aim at one target, fire, and hit the other target. Clearly, the hackers knew the shot would be off, but in a real world scenario, the operator would have no visual indication that their system was compromised.<\/p>\n<p>So how does this security flaw affect TrackingPoint scopes? According to TrackingPoint founder John McHale, not all that much. And in truth, he\u2019s probably right. After all, the point of impact of can only be shifted so much, and most high-end snipers probably will be using a traditional scope. In addition, the scope\u2019s Wi-Fi range isn\u2019t that far.<\/p>\n<p>Even still, McHale is already working on a patch and will be sending it out to TrackingPoint owners via a USB drive as soon as it\u2019s completed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shooter\u2019s got to pull the rifle\u2019s trigger, and the shooter is responsible for making sure it\u2019s pointed in a safe direction,\u201d said McHale. \u201cIt\u2019s my responsibility to make sure my scope is pointed where my gun is pointing. The fundamental of shooting don\u2019t change even if the gun is hacked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sandvik warns that with the increasing rate of pairing technology to everyday items, more and more security risks will present themselves, especially when it comes to guns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are so many things with the Internet attached to them: cars, fridges, coffee machines, and now guns,\u201d said Sandvik. \u201cThere\u2019s a message here for TrackingPoint and other companies\u2026 when you put technology on items that haven\u2019t had it before, you run into security challenges you haven\u2019t though about before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pair of security researchers has shown that with a bit of ingenuity and a laptop computer, a TrackingPoint scope can be hacked to hit any target you want. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":40759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,241,216,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-40758","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-rapid-fire","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hackers Break Into TrackingPoint Sniper Rifles, Change Targets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A pair of security researchers has shown that with a bit of ingenuity and a laptop computer, a TrackingPoint scope can be hacked to hit any target you want.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hackers-break-into-trackingpoint-sniper-rifles-change-targets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hackers Break Into TrackingPoint Sniper Rifles, Change Targets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A pair of security researchers has shown that with a bit of ingenuity and a laptop computer, a TrackingPoint scope can be hacked to hit any target you want.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hackers-break-into-trackingpoint-sniper-rifles-change-targets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-08-01T04:38:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T22:14:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/trackingpoint.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
