Stealing via CAN BUS

[joney]

Apparently it takes a while, but: Thieves Can Steal Modern Cars By Tapping Into a Headlight Wire
All the way back to '89

'Indefensible' hack could leave modern cars vulnerable to critical cybersecurity attack

The attack, which can disable airbags and other safety systems, affects the CAN standard for connected cars, affecting a large number of vendors and models.

Luck getting access to or hacking my rigs! Hahahaha

Crazy stuff

There are a few auto crashes of high profile individuals in the last 10 years that make us wonder if there was some of this going on……

Seems like someone could make an app that monitors the can bus and alerts your phone. Doesn't stop the attack, but if you know there's a problem it gives you a chance to deal with it.
