WikiLeaks warns CIA can hack cars for 'undetectable assassinations'
Washington Examiner ^ | 7 Mar 17 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 03/07/2017 5:12:15 PM PST by SkyPilot

The CIA has been investigating ways to manipulate the control systems of modern cars and trucks that could be used for covert assassinations, WikiLeaks said on Tuesday as part of its dump of more than 8,700 documents that it claims are from the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence.

"As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks," WikiLeaks said in a statement. "The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations."

Most cars are now equipped with electronic brake control systems, and a number of systems, including acceleration, airbags, steering, door locks and entertainment system are controlled by sensors and computers, making them susceptible to hacking.

My late father despised computers. But most especially of all, computers in cars.

He said often "A car only needs gas, air and electricity. It doesn't need no stupid computer."

I can only imagine what he would say today...

Inaccurate headline by Washington Examiner. Wikileaks says CIA was looking at this, not that they were successful or evervused it. Everything else is speculative fake news.

You are a shill.

For whom or who am I "a shill"?

And it would help if you could elaborate completely rather than hiding behind monosyllables.

Does he say anything about the illuminati? The whistle blowers who have talked about this, say these things happen regularly and for reasons... and the government has members in it... they don’t have a conscience.
