Our (Netragard's) founder and president (Adriel Desautels) was recently interviewed by the local news (Fox 25) about car hacking. We thought that we'd write a quick entry and share this with you. Thank you to Fox 25 for doing such a good job with the interview. Note for the AAA guy though, once cars have IP addresses (which is now) hackers won't need to "pull up next to you to hack [your car]" and turning the car off is the least of the problems. Hackers will be able to do it from their location of choice and trust us when we say that "firewalls" don't pose much of a challenge at all. Anyway, enjoy the video and please feel free to comment.
