* Oregon - Cyber security firm warns of hacking dangers for vehicles’ wireless components
-- Cyber security company Tripwire reports that a new joint public service announcement from the FBI, DOT and NHTSA “lists wireless components of modern vehicles that can be vulnerable and the methods attackers could use to launch a real-life attack, similar to the one demonstrated last year in which researchers remotely seized control of a Jeep Cherokee” ... This follows last month’s news that Nissan's LEAF cars can be easily hacked, allowing their heating and air-conditioning systems to be hijacked... Lane Thames, Security Research and Software Development Engineer of Tripwire, provided the following comments: “... Another reason is actually due to how the computing ecosystem is moving from a mostly 'virtual' environment to a merged world where virtual things are interacting and controlling things in the world around us. Particularly, the IoT includes devices that are cyber-physical. A modern, Internet-connected car is a perfect example of a cyber-physical system. It is a thing that used to be based on pure physics, comprised of mechanical, electrical, and chemical systems... Now, these systems are controlled by onboard computers, and it might not be long before remote computer systems play a role in automotive control, especially with these systems being rapidly connected to the Internet. The point is that future technology (regardless of what we name it, i.e., IoT, etc.) will demand a holistic, cross-disciplinary approach for the design and implementation of cyber security and its interconnection with technology. This by and large does not exist today. Until this starts to happen, we will continue to hear about more and more technologies coming online and eventually becoming vulnerable to remote exploits” ...
