The Next Level in Hacking

Hackers have been able to access cars by building a device costing less than $30. The purpose was to be able to tune the car, which cost a lot if done commercially. Since the device needs to be plugged into the car, this is not wireless hacking. However, the device could potentially be used for malicious purposes, such as applying the emergency brakes, turn the headlights on or off and change the power steering controls. Let’s hope they do not add a wireless module to it.
