Hackers can easily hack into the electronics of a new car.

Car manufacturers equip modern models with a large number of wireless technological innovations, forgetting to protect devices from cyber attacks, which hackers can launch into systems.

This is evidenced by the results of a study conducted by Massachusetts State Senator Ed Markey, which covered 16 companies involved in the production of automobiles. The study looked at how effective security measures are in protecting customers from security threats to electronic systems installed in purchased vehicles. “Drivers have come to rely on the reliability of these devices, but automakers are not doing their job to protect users from cyberattacks or privacy invasions,” said Ed Markey.

Earlier, CBS News reported that hackers are ways to hack systems, even in completely new models of machines. Burglars from a remote place successfully turn off the brakes, turn on the horn signal, start the windshield wipers. In this case, the driver is not able to do anything to stop the hackers, writes AmericaRu.com
