Multiple engineers have testified before congress that they were ordered to make systems easy to hack. This has been going on for decades and nothing has changed AFAIK. I suspect everything will go fully electronic with no paper-trail, despite my having a paper trail every time I fuel up my vehicle.
- rossdavidh 8y ago(sigh) I fear you are correct.
- hsienmaneja 8y agoCitation?
- LinuxBender 8y agoThis isn't a college paper. I do not need to cite everything that I state. You can find these on search engines and youtube easily enough.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoIf you claim something that is not generally known, a citation is kind of nice. If you are asked for one, a citation is even nicer - where one asks, ten or a hundred others may have the same question. You want the asker to go Google it, but you might save a hundred people the work.
- joshumax 8y agoI've done a cursory search and all I can find is articles on the dangers of EVMs and EVM manipulation; nothing about engineers testifying that they were forced to make them vulnerable. Perhaps there is information on this but it isn't immediately obvious based on a Google search. Additionally, while leaving out a citation where it's due is a common and normal occurrence, actively becoming hostile when asked to provide one is a great way to destroy any sense of credibility.
- chatmasta 8y agoProbably OP is referring to this testimony [0] from Clint Curtis [1] which went viral around 2016. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0qivPudp6U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0qivPudp6U [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Curtis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Curtis
