Thanks for sharing this.
I had seen this done on a car show on TV. I don't understand why automobile manufacturers would allow this in their products. Why aren't they more concerned about making sure this is not possible? Very odd, it seems. Yes, dangerous.  DejaVu |

This has concerned me since I saw a stolen car being immobilised remotely by the manufacturer at the behest of the Police following it. Then I thought it only a matter of time, it is very scary stuff.

This is interesting:
http://arstechnica.com/security/2015...vulnerability/ And other recalls at Chrysler: Today's news: http://www.freep.com/story/money/car...alls/30730931/ I don't see how they can stay in business.

Wow!
It could get very expensive for the manufacturer. I hope lessons are well-learned and not quickly forgotten. I cannot imagine leaving this vulnerability wide open, even if not penalized for having done so. We'll see how the "buyback offer" pans out for the manufacturer. I am glad this has been exposed and a "remedy" is being offered to each vehicle owner. Thanks for sharing this info! Warmly, DejaVu |
