Cyber criminals working for enemy states could ‘kill millions’ by remotely hacking cars, warns expert

Terrorist hackers working for enemy states could turn cars into killing machines, a security expert has warned. Any car built after 2005 is an ‘open door’ to hackers and could be remotely controlled to obliterate ‘millions of civilians’, a researcher has found. The warning was made by Justin Cappos. … Dr Cappos says this vulnerability should be treated as an ‘urgent’ national security issue, writes The Times. ‘If there was a war or escalation with a country with strong cybercapability, I would be very afraid of hacking of vehicles.’
