" by connecting to a standard diagnostic computer port" *facepalm* OK, on the one hand, ODB-2 is rad, and doing cool things with it is totally awesome. On the other hand, this is what happens when people ignore attack vectors. They have to plug into your ODB-2 port! At that level of access, they can also stab your tires, fill your engine with sugar, and my favorite, put Oscar Meyer Bologne on your paint job so that your entire car becomes polka dotted. Somehow, I don't expect to see "hackers can polka dot your car" headlines :) On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 5:14 PM, Juha-Matti Laurio < juha-matti.laurio () netti fi> wrote:

However, "He [Stefan Savage] and co-researcher Tadayoshi Kohno of the University of Washington, describe the real-world risk of any of the attacks they've worked out as extremely low." I was sure this will generate titles like Security researchers say they can take over a car, Hackers could attack your car, Modern cars vulnerable to malicious hacks etc. Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
