Vehicle technology in the future more and more sophisticated. In the future, if the car broke down, you need a bachelor’s degree mechanical computer.
If one day the car broke down, you will need a computer science degree holders mechanic to fix it. Today, many car manufacturers introduce new digital technologies for vehicles.
In addition, according to a new report from security firm McAfee, car manufacturers are also introducing new vulnerabilities that hackers could potentially exploited to cause security problems.
In recent years, the automotive industry give the owners the ability to be able to start the car remotely through cell phones. In addition, new technology also lets consumers turn off his car from a distance if stolen.
Some vehicles have Wi-Fi to provide Internet access to passengers while on the go. In addition, many of them offer Bluetooth, GPS navigation and online help system.
In fact, Google has developed a car that can drive automatically. However, according to McAfee’s report titled ‘Caution: Malware Ahead,’ some new features that are embedded in airbags, radio, seat and brake cars not safe from hackers.
“There is concern over the progress of the industry, there are few things done in order to guarantee the security of this system,” the report said. Concern over cyber security on the car are new risks that threaten the daily life of consumers who increasingly connected to the internet.
Although there is little new in the real world evidence suggests hackers to steal vehicles or attacked the safety car, there are a few examples found security researchers on how to do this.
At the Black Hat security conference last month, Don Bailey and Matthew Solnik from the security firm ISEC Partners shows how to unlock the car remotely, start the engine and track its GPS coordinates via SMS to plow into the vehicle security system.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, and University of Washington have found a way to control a vehicle’s engine remotely. In addition, researchers University of South Carolina and Rutgers University found they could track the movement of vehicles through radio frequency identification tags located inside a car tire.
Security flaws that appear to give little danger to motorists but this has become part of the growing number of privacy issues related to hackers and automobile technology.
Earlier this year, recording a GPS provider of driver behavior, and sell it to the Dutch police to use against those who like speeding. Before buying a new car, consumers should consider all of the features that connect the Internet and how to secure yourself.
According to the report, there is not way to track the attack, the feature has been attacked and one question arises, whether the vehicle stores the data from smartphones connected to the car is still unknown.
Now we are in an era of computer chips and systems that provide greater efficiency in vehicles today, the report said. “But 10 years from now, this system will continue to maintain the trust of consumers or even fast becoming another way of malware attacks and violations of data privacy
