This is not the first time the two hackers pointed out the danger of modern cars. Two years ago made experiments with the Toyota Prius and Ford Escape. But when they sat in the back seat, with their computers connected to the car’s diagnostic socket. This time they sat over a mil away.
Miller Valasek has collaborated with Fiat Chrysler since October, to give the company time to plug the vulnerability. But to further put pressure on the automaker, they announced that they intend to publish the code they used on a motor show in Las Vegas in early August.
This means that those who have not updated their software is vulnerable to attack from someone who had come across the vehicle’s IP address.
