That was a lot of uninformative text to plow though...
Apparently someone has found a remote exploit that affects some model of Jeep. It requires an attacker to find the IP address of the Jeep. Which implies that a Jeep has an IP address. The communication between the Jeep and the world is something called Uconnect.
- Miner49er 11y agoThey've also found a way to scan the Sprint network for cars connected to Uconnect and retrieve the cars' VIN and location.
- XorNot 11y agoI'm still curious if this can be done without physical access to the car in advance. The last time one of these showed up, it was very understated that all the remote access stuff involved reprogramming an ECU and plugging in a phone you control. The article doesn't provide any clear information on whether this works purely remotely. EDIT: Scrap that, seems it does - weird that the article doesn't lead with that more prominently. In which case wow - pinging the network and grabbing GPS coordinates for cars?
