YOUR CAR CAN BE HACKED AND CONTROLLED BY HACKERS

Technology can best be described has innovation that is shaping our world for good, but has its own fair share of negativity because there will always be a twist to human endeavors.
Do you know your car can be hacked and controlled by hackers.

This report from www.theguardian.com "A Senate-commissioned investigation details how an iPad can interfere with vehicle performance and be used to collect data such as driving history".
Though, I have made a little modification to detail how your car can be hacked. Read full report from the link above.

Most cars now contain more than 50 separate electronic control units collecting vehicle data and improving performance; nearly all have wireless entry points that could act as a gateway for hackers. Almost all the cars on the market today are therefore vulnerable to “hacking or privacy intrusions”.

The Massachusetts senator’s investigation of 50 top car manufacturers including BMW, Chrysler, General Motors and Ford found their treatment and protection of such potentially sensitive technology and information to be “alarmingly inconsistent and incomplete”.

Nearly 100% of cars on the market include wireless technologies that could pose vulnerabilities to hacking or privacy intrusions, while more automobile manufacturers are unaware of or unable to report on past hacking incidents

“Drivers have come to rely on these new technologies, but unfortunately the automakers haven’t done their part to protect us from cyber-attacks or privacy invasions. Even as we are more connected than ever in our cars and trucks, our technology systems and data security remain largely unprotected,” said Markey, a member of the Senate’s commerce, science and transportation committee.
