Mitsubishi Outlander Wifi helps thiefs to steal your ride with gaft WiFi security hole
-
The security system of the Outlander is easily disabled with a security hole from the built in WiFi.
I guess if you didn't like the car that much, why did you buy it?
-
Who couldn't see this happening from miles away? Car + WiFi = trouble (car manufacturers don't do electronic/wireless security.)
-
I continue to be amazed that the car systems are in any way linked to the entertainment systems. that's the root of the problems right there.
And you could allow this assuming you put a firewall between the two with good security. sigh

True, true... but as @travisdh1 said... they just don't do security, lol.

Probably because they want to use networking for diagnostics or something. And they don't want to install dual radios.

LOL - it seems like no one does these days.
IOT devices - they practically have zero security too. We've hit a point where our technology can do great things for us, but we refuse to do what's right and secure it.

But then again, is ANYONE buying IoT stuff or just using the term a lot? I've yet to see any IoT stuff really on the market.
-
That's not what was meant by factory fitted lo-jack

There isn't a need to though - they could firewall the car systems. Hell, they could install an ERL lol

You haven't been to a Best Buy lately, they have 2-3 isles of the shit.

Hmmm... so the Internet of Things at Best Buy is just a new name for things that have been around a long time? I was hoping for something that didn't exist before the IoT term was around.

The difference now is that those things are all internet enabled out of the box. While some of them could have been before, they weren't in the consumer space.

I guess, but it is suddenly like saying that Playstations and XBOXes are "Internet of Things" now. I'm expecting new things like microwaves, windows, and such. I've had wifi by default thermostats for years, cameras, baby monitors... like a LONG time.

Yes, WiFi to your own local network, and perhaps you could create your own internet server to access them from. The difference today it the internet component.
