I was actually kinda intrigued by the Internet connected toilet, but
the hacking demonstration has me now totally plugged up.
So, I'm assuming that you'll eventually buy a newer vehicle sooner or
later? How about those Jeep Grand Cherokees? So Chrysler sent out
software upgrades on USB memory sticks through the USPS. Yup, you
guessed it. They got into the hands of hackers. At this point, I don't
think I'll ever buy a used Jeep Grand Cherokee of this generation. You
have no idea which ones have been hacked and which ones haven't. Are
you REALLY sure that there isn't a "Zero Day" that has been installed
on it that will cause the brakes to fail and the accelerator to go
full throttle AND the air bags to not deploy and the seatbelt
tensioner to loosen? Oh, and the power steering assist to go berzerk
and start steering you towards oncoming traffic at the same time?
This ISN'T science fiction. Every bit of this has been demonstrated.
