Automotive cyber attacks are coming!
HSB's New Ways of Thinking
On this next episode, Jeff O' continues a converastion with Automotive Cyber Security Expert Giuseppe Serio, from Upstream Security. Giuseppe shares a recenty story about a ride hailing service that was attacked by cyber criminals, sending all the vehicles into one central location. Nobody was harmed. There was no monetary interest. It was just to attack the infrastructure, to inhibit or demonstrate that there's a potential to attack, and by the way, these were all different vehicle models.
