Default Re: What does the future hold for automotive enthusiasm?

Hacker Finds He Can Remotely Kill Car Engines After Breaking Into GPS Tracking Apps:

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/a...-tracking-apps

"By reverse engineering ProTrack and iTrack’s Android apps, L&M said he realized that all customers are given a default password of 123456 when they sign up."

Solid encryption.

"L&M also claimed to be able to do much more than just monitor customers’ vehicles.

“I can absolutely make a big traffic problem all over the world,” L&M said. “I have fully [sic] control hundred of thousands of vehicles, and by one touch, I can stop these vehicles engines.”"

This guy is enthusiastic for the chaos he can cause with cars. A reminder that carburettors cannot be hacked.
