"Connected Cars Moving Targets for Hackers"

The growth in connected vehicles creates opportunities for cyberattacks that pose a significant threat to the safety of drivers. The cybersecurity firm, GuardKnox, highlighted the danger in a demonstration at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Researchers demonstrated the potential impact of cyberattacks on connected vehicles in a Formula 1 driving simulation, which showed the compromise of a steering wheel by a hacker to remove its control over a speeding car. The scenario could become a real incident soon as new cars increase in connection to computer chips, sensors, and mobile technology. These elements will increasingly be abused by hackers to disrupt the operations of a vehicle. This article continues to discuss the hacked driving simulation demonstrated by GaurdKnox and the expected rise in attacks on connected cars.
