The two described the hack as "fairly easy" and "a weekend project".Ī few months later, news broke that researchers had hacked a Tesla Model S, once again via the car’s entertainment system. Hacking into the Jeep’s electronics through the entertainment system, they were able to change the vehicle’s speed, alter its braking capability, and manipulate the radio and windscreen wipers. In April, Cybersecurity experts Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek revealed a software flaw that allowed them to take control of a Jeep Cherokee on the move - all from a laptop computer at home. However, with poor Internet security expertise some manufacturers are being caught out.
Cars, for instance, have only recently become connected, although they have long been computerized.
With so many connected devices we decided to take a look at those that have made the headlines so far this year. The Internet of Things (IoT) isn’t a new concept, but it has gained momentum especially within the last year, as more and more connected devices have come to market. While connecting everything brings added convenience to our everyday lives, it’s crucial to understand what we may be compromising from a security perspective, and importantly, which devices could pose a threat either now or in the future.
