Hacking expert improves proof-of-concept auto computer malware that can infect a mechanic's computer and then infect other cars

Breitbarting. It's not just for black ops anymore. This must be why I have resisted getting a late-model car.

Mechanic computers used to pwn cars in new model-agnostic attack
Proof-of-concept gets shiny sharp new teeth.
13 Mar 2016 - Darren Pauli
Hacker Craig Smith has designed an attack whereby a car bearing malicious code could infect computers used in mechanics' workshops. The workshop computers emerge capable of infecting nearly any other vehicle that arrives for service.
Smith's attack is a significant improvement on his proof-of-concept first brewed during 2015 that allowed attackers to deliberately infect a car with code that could then attack repair shop computers used for diagnosis.
From there it could attack any car mechanics attach to the compromised computer.
It has now been overhauled from its basic proof of concept malware to boast machine learning capabilities and can now let attackers do their worst without specialist knowledge or coding.
"These (mechanics) tool have the codes to read and write firmware and if it is compromised by a malicious car it can modify the firmware of other cars that come in afterwards," Smith told Vulture South at the Nullcon security conference in Goa, India.
"That would be the end-game, the worst thing that could happen...."
