Can thieves control my car?
Cars are becoming small computing powerhouses, able to communicate and connect with each other and their surroundings. Bluetooth links, wireless sensors, mobile phone network and even internet connectivity is already available, and the more that cars resemble objects in computing networks, the more vulnerable they become to computing attack methods. SBD have investigated the likelihood of hacking attacks being used to steal vehicles, and have found that future systems may be vulnerable.
This report gives you a clear understanding of what hacking attacks have been conducted by research teams and which are likely to develop as theft threats in the future. By learning about the equipment and knowledge required to execute these attacks you can make a confident strategy to adopt the latest technology whilst also future proofing your new systems from thieves.
