Today, while our cars have turned into computers connected to the internet, we have started to hear that even cars are hacked from time to time. However, the new hack shared today was not intended to steal user information or cause any harm, like other hacks. This hack had only one goal: to make car owners watch sexually explicit videos.
An unknown hacker or hackers with such a target has haunted electric vehicle owners in the UK’s Isle of Wight the other day. Hackers hacked the charging stations of electric vehicles and replaced the page that should normally open when the vehicles are charged, with a sexually explicit video.
No information was shared about the hacker:
After the incident was reported to the authorities, the authorities apologized to all vehicle owners who encountered inappropriate content. Police teams sent to the area also made sure that inappropriate content was removed. No information was shared about the hackers who caused the incident.
The latest news about the hacking of cars was shared in the past weeks. A 19-year-old teenager claimed that he had succeeded in taking over the systems of many Tesla cars around the world. Fortunately, the young man informed Tesla about the vulnerability and did not make the car owners watch sexually explicit videos, like the hackers in this news.
