The omnipresence of electronics in our vehicles might make them more refined, but it can also have its fair share of risks. That's the conclusion of two researchers at Black Hat, an annual meeting of hackers and security specialists taking place in Las Vegas.
They demonstrated that it was possible to unlock the doors and start the engine of a Subaru Outback with the help of an Android phone, by using a technique called "war texting". The latter operates the remote control and intercepts password authentication messages over the cell network between the server and the car.
