CareerInfoSecurity: Gone in 30 Seconds: Kia Hack Unveiled

CareerInfoSecurity | Gunter Ollmann, IOActive Chief Technology Officer, was featured in a piece from CareerInfoSecurity discussing a recent breach in online services from carmaker Kia that allowed attackers to unlock doors & start engines in Kia automobiles.

‘Cars have been a favorite target for security researchers as software and electronic control units dominate what once were purely analog machines. Smartphone apps capable of controlling core vehicle functionality “expose those traditional physical functions to the communication and security frailties of internet protocols and applications,” said Gunter Ollmann, IOActive chief technology officer.’
