Hackers only need a gateway to get connected to any device and that’s
also true for cars which have systems that connect them to a cellular
network. A research report from Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, shared
with CNNMoney,
explain similar findings. According to the report, if a car’s functions
like the steering, brakes and tire pressure monitor are on the similar
network as features that link the car to the Internet, the hackers can
control any function remotely.
They could engage brakes and control features like adaptive cruise control and active lane assist.
The security researchers analyzed 20 different cars with a goal to
persuade automakers to make necessary changes to provide consumers
robustly secure cars. They found the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2015 Cadillac Escalade and 2014 Toyota Prius as most vulnerable vehicles, while the 2014 Dodge Viper and 2014 Audi A8 are least hackable as their wireless communications are not on the same network as their features. Read More :AutosHype.com
