    1. There’s only one hacker out there? Well, that’s a relief.

      Happily, this particular vulnerability was patched after a bug bounty. Is it ever the only hole in the security system?

  4. I used to work for a company that designed and manufactured consumer electronics, including a variety of “smart home” devices, and I assure you no one in that industry understands or gives two sh*ts about network security. It’s not part of the spec, no one on the team knows anything about the topic, and if anyone were to expend time implementing even rudimentary security they’d be disciplined for it.

  5. Just one more reason to never buy an electric car.

    There must be a better way to run things …. we cannot produce enough electricity to run everything and all the cars in the world as well. It’s just not going to happen.

    California already has brown outs and black outs and that is going to get worse because fools run California.

    1. Exactly J.

      I have often question the WOKE loons who seem to think that in 25 yrs from now ICE will no longer be sold as EV’s “shall rule” the world”

      But where is all the Yottawatts of electricity going to come from…??

      Hydro..?? Can’t see it, most of the world’s major rivers are already dammed.

      Fossil Fuels…?? LMAO..not freaking likely. Somehow I don’t see the IPCC/UN endorsing that..!!

      Wind -Solar…?? Laughable at best.

      So that leaves NUCLEAR…and for some odd reason, I don’t see Butts, the WWF and the billions of green morons endorsing that either.

      Ev’s are a complete and utter joke…and I’m betting that in 10 yrs time I’ll still be filling up my non-connected 06 Sierra 2500 HD w/diesel.

  6. Everything Linux-based is full of holes the same size as the arrogant ego that Linux developers have.
    Each of them pulls the blanket onto themselves in the (mostly futile) attempts to install themselves as the next guru and promote their resume. UNIX development used to be centered around North American universities and the quality of their software was decent. Today every fucking monkey in Mozambique wants to be a kernel developer, and filtering out crap has become an impossible task. The projects on github are overrun with god-knows-who from all over the 3d world whose only dream is to enhance their resume and get a ticket to the USA.
    While automotive software ran on QNX, it was bulletproof. Now, on Linux, it is a deluge of crap. Thank you, Blackberry, for running QNX into the ditch! The world is supposedly a better place now, but I want to run and hide in anticipation of the next 3 mile island. I still run QNX, by the way. Keeps me going.

    1. My aforementioned ex-employer designed the auto electronics for Ford, and they all ran on QNX.

      >Everything Linux-based is full of holes the same size as the arrogant ego that Linux developers have.

      I can understand why Linux became popular at first – it was free – but by 1994, when the unencumbered FreeBSD was released, Linux should have disappeared overnight.

      1. The FreeBSD.org team worked very hard to ruin FreeBSD as well. The same arrogant, into-your-face, fascist attitude crawled into their ranks as well. All paid for by Microsoft, no doubt.

  7. So that’s why a silver Tesla went by me on Highway 2 this morning at around 150 kph.
    A hacker made him do it!
