Once again we see Car Manufacturers cutting corners on digital security with this new Volkswagen hack.
'Millions' of Volkswagen cars can be unlocked via hack - BBC News
A sizeable proportion of 100 million Volkswagen Group cars sold since 1995 can be unlocked remotely by hackers, a team of researchers has said. The problem affects a range of vehicles manufactured between 1995 and 2016 - including VWs and models from the company's Audi, Seat and Skoda brands.
Just like the big Jeep hack demonstrated by a duo of Hackers about a year ago, we see another case of Car Manufacturers cutting corners when it comes to digital security. The more automated cars become the more serious these issues will become. I personally think Car Manufacturers should use the same security as banks as with our digital cars, our lives literally could be in the hands of hackers.
