Hackable? Nuclear Power Stations are hackable [1]. Even machines without any connection to a network are hackable [2] And autopilots have been hacked [3], too.

Hackable?
Nuclear Power Stations are hackable [1]. Even machines without any connection to a network are hackable [2] And autopilots have been hacked [3], too.
When will the masses wake up and realize that "security" is just a concept. Not an infallible reality.

- kjksf 11y agoAnd yet not a single nuclear accident caused by hacking. Not a single airplane accident caused by hacking. Doesn't that undermine your chicken little attitude to the dangers of car hacking? If you want to kill someone in a car, buy a gun, wait for him to get in the car and then shoot him. There are plenty of ways to do serious harm that are easier than becoming a hacking mastermind that can willy-nilly penetrate Google's security.
