Hacker Disables More Than 100 Cars Remotely

The justice department should make an example out of him.

I like my pre internet rust bucket a little bit more now. Side note: mechanical windows are great!

I just wonder if we will be hearing more of this type of "hacking" with the flood of vehicles that have On-Star or the like.

I, for one, would not submit to having any such device installed in my car for a loan. I would rather buy a $500 clunker for cash than have a squeeze box installed in my testic... err... I meant vehicle.

Really now. Didn't everyone see this coming from miles away.

Obvious through observation that they did not.

Yup, I'll stick to my carburetor and my points ignition., thank you. No problems there.

wow! "the dark ages!"

armed with only a screwdriver, you can replace the only wearing part in less than 5 minutes.

they require a wipe of grease on the rubbing block at each oil change, and last at least 20,000 miles.

not to mention costing under $10

why you can replace those points, and that venturi based atomizer with a "black box" that knows all, does all, for mere thousands.

certainly progress!!!!!!!!

Shh!

With Mickeysoft providing operating systems for the new car infotainment, whatever that is, equipped vehicles, combined with full internet access the number of automotive targeted viruses and other nastiness is only going to increase. I think I will keep my pre-2000 diesel that only needs a battery and some oil to run.

Did he do any Toyotas?
