If you vehicle NEVER connects to the outside world, how can it be hacked?

 

Mine connects to my phone via Bluetooth and Wifi when im within range of my house...... Interesting! That may explain my A/C issue.....

Um, I would take that article with a grain of salt since it's published by an anti-virus developer

 

Not that it has anything to do with the topic but why would you say that? What possible interest or motive would Norton have for passing along erroneous information? I'm not trying to present an argument, only curious.

 

Just look at the new trucks and cars hat have "built-in wifi" in them.... Now you're probably asking for intrusion(s).

 

Sales.

It's in Norton's best interest to publish such perceived security threats to the public.


Btw, no offense taken.

 

Knowing what I know about computers and vehicles, there is a very REAL threat but it's more likely hackers will start hammering apple computers before they get into the automotive arena due to the simple fact there is no money in it.


Yet!
