Tesla plant in Nevada was the target of a cyber attack


Elon Musk confirmed that the FBI prevented a cyberattack targeting the Tesla plant in Nevada. A Russian citizen offered a million dollars to an employee to introduce malware into the computer system, but he refused the money and alerted the authorities.

US authorities have arrested a Russian citizen who attempted to extract data from the Tesla system and then blackmail the company.

According to the FBI, 27-year-old Egor Igorevich Kriuchkov offered a Tesla employee the amount of one million dollars to inject malware into the computer system. The malware was developed to install so-called ransomware, software that can encrypt a victim's files in a short period of time in order to later demand a ransom for decryption.
