> Seriously... Why do so many people not care about security? Seriously? That's because as of today, not having security in this domain hasn't bitten anyone hard enough, ever. Just think about it. At least I haven't heard that despite all these car key hacks any significant number of people would've had their cars and/or belongings stolen. Nor have I heard that any one car manufacturer's sales have significantly plummeted because their cars "can be hacled". After that, it's just pure economics. As of now, the ROI for implementing good security in cars (or anything IoT for that matter) just doesn't pay itself back. At all. Now, I'd like for the car makers to actually do something before chaos-by-hacked-cars ensues as much as anyone and people have to actually die. But it won't happen before the incentive is there. This is one place where government regulation really, really should come into play. There should already be laws for massive fines plus complete obligations to fix every security and safety related bug in all cars sold. Sound too hard on the makers? I don't think so, just look at the mechanical side of the cars: call-backs to fix those are happening all the time, because everyone understands that you can't drive a car which may hit you with an airbag at 60 mph. Or have a broken airbag system.
