Cars and medical tech can get hacked!

Post by DeadPoolX »

I found this information originally in this Cracked.com article. From there, I looked up their source material and found the following articles:
So the bottom line is that cars and medical equipment that're connected to the Internet are vulnerable to hacking attempts. By "vulnerable" I mean someone could disable your brakes or cause an insulin pump to either not work or keep working without stopping. Either way, these things can be lethal.
