A viral social media prank has exposed a major security flaw in some Bluetooth-enabled e-rickshaw battery systems. According to a Hindustan Times report, apps such as BAT-BMS and Lossigy can reportedly connect to unsecured Battery Management Systems and remotely switch off certain e-rickshaws, leaving drivers stranded mid-journey. Experts say the issue stems from the lack of password protection on some lithium-ion battery packs. The Delhi government and the Ministry of Electronics and IT are now looking into the matter as concerns grow over public safety and cybersecurity.
