What is mean by Car Hacking ?
CAN YOUR CAR BE HACKED ?
The short answer is Yes !
With the advanced features in vehicles today, cars are essentially giant moving computers, vulnerable to bugs, viruses.
Where hackers are finding an new opportunity to hack system.
Can a hacker stop your car or shut off your engine while you're driving 70 miles per hour on the freeway ?
Theoretically, Yes !
They can do that and much more.
These are just some of the ways hackers can access your vehicle's vulnerable system
and make driving difficult or dangerous for you :
- TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS :
Tire pressure monitoring systems tell drivers when their vehicle's tires are too low or too high on pressure.But when hacked, hackers can trigger warning lights and even remotely track vehicles through the monitoring system.- DISABLING BRAKES :
You may control your brake pedal, but micropreocessors in your onboard computer really make your brakes work.Hackers who get into your onboard computer can disable your brakes & even stop the engine.- SMARTPHONE ACCESS :
Hackers may be less interested in your vehicle's systems and more intrested in your vehicle's connected mobile phone.Which can give them access to credit card information, passwords & financial data.- CHANGING THE TIME, A SONG OR GPS DESTINATION :
With access to your vehicle's systems, it's simple for hackers to make small, but important changes to your vehicle.They can even get into your GPS system and change the destination you're heading to.
