How Easy Is it to Hack a Vehicle? We hear everyday about kids hacking into computers and forget how vehicles are actually comprised of multiple computers - so how easy is it to actually hack a vehicle’s computer system?
Vehicle systems are much like any other computer systems, connected to the internet and will eventually result in the same behavior and suffer the same security threats that any other computer faces. Meaning “script kiddies’ can eventually find their way to a connected vehicle but not every layer of the vehicle is easy to hack. It is important to distinguish though, between attacks on the connected components of the car and attacks on the deeper car systems such as critical safety systems which will require additional skills to attack.
