Hackers may target cars next, McAfee says

Seems nothing is safe from hackers anymore. I suppose it was only a matter of time.

 The increasingly sophisticated systems running a car may lead to new vulnerabilities, according to a study released today from security software provider McAfee in partnership with mobile software provider Wind River and embedded security provider Escrypt. Those systems could allow hackers to take control of the car, track its location, and even access devices that are connected to it, including smartphones and tablets carrying valuable personal data.

 Lets just hope the auto industry patches these exploits sooner rather then later.
