Research Proves Hackers Can Take Control of Your Car

Researchers from the University of Washington and the University of California San Diego have proved that cars' functions can be hacked.

With cars increasing their connectivity to the Internet, the researchers were able to remotely control braking, stopping the engine and other functions, while cars were in motion and completely overriding the driver.

Their research paper, “Experimental Security Analysis of a Modern Automobile,” states, "We demonstrate that an attacker who is able to infiltrate virtually any electronic control unit can leverage this ability to completely circumvent a broad array of safety-critical systems."
