I have been hearing about this for the past year in my neighborhood, in fact my car “broken” into several times. I am not 100% certain if I had left my door open but it sounds like some people are keeping their keys in the fridge because the fridge makes a great Faraday cage lol.

its great that they released a new firmware, but I wonder how often do people stay on top of keeping things updated with such devices? I havent seen or heard of security devices being on the radar for IT folks typically and are probably forgotten once they are installed.

Why such a high tech solution? It should be as simple as creating a “gray list” of websites that publish fake news. A way to flag or vote for websites as being “fake” should be a really way to manage this. Also let users opt in/out of seeing the fake news, that way everyone is happy? What do you think?

I have heard of another vulnerability with people being able to steal a Tesla simply by resetting the owners Tesla account and creating a new password. While getting a car stolen is not fun I hope tesla does a good job at maintaining security for a car that is in motion, since any “hack” of a moving car with passengers in it can become deadly!

I think that is a great idea, Hospitals are punished for HIPPA violations and from my experience they take HIPPA breaches extremely seriously as they are costly. Money seems to be a great motivator.

WordPress sounds like a never ending security mess! Always seeing news about new WP vulnerabilities.

I think most organizations find themselves in a similar struggle where they have a core mission or objective to make something good while maintaining good intentions they end up with an internal struggle where the engineers/developers have goals to achieve success by designing or developing something to be used for “good” while on the other hand…[Read more]
