US Senator's report reveals automobile privacy
vulnerabilities
A report released by US Senator Markey suggests that carmakers
are building wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and
navigation systems, into cars without enough security to protect
personal information. It has also been reported (January 2015) that
about 2.2 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles have a
security flaw that leaves them vulnerable to hackers. Carmakers
have acknowledged the need for greater protection for the
consumer's privacy.
