No I meant there was speculation that someone hacked his car. this just proves it can be done. And you know if they admit it’s possible now, then they have been able to do it for some time.

You apparently didn't read the article completely. There was no speculative "someone" here hacking Charlie's car. Charlie Miller is one of the world's top experts on computer security. He is an ex-NSA computer expert.

He knows exactly who and when and how his Jeep was hacked.

Charlie Miller did it himself, with his own Mac computer, hooked directly into the Jeep's systems by a cable, playing around with changing things in its programing for his hobby of hacking things.

Only he couldn't put it back together again!

This was a direct possession via direct connect hack, not a remote exploit. Not only was it not reprogrammable, the entire head computer had to be replaced. That is funny.

This is sorta like the kid who took his parent's alarm clock apart. . . and got it back together but it didn't work anymore. Who? Me? No, the cat did it, Mom! Honest!

I'm confused. He claims he can "hack" into the code but yet couldn't repair the code after changes? Is he really an expert who didn't save a copy of the original code before playing?

You misunderstood what I was getting at. I’m not saying the CIA bricked the jeep. I’m saying that people suspected such a thing in the reporter’s accident.
