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.

Because it is awesome. If people like bin Laden or IS leaders can be taken out this way I say fantastic.

Hastings and Breitbart were both murdered.
So were the “choir boys” from Obama’s church.
And the guy who cleansed his passport file while working for John Brennan before he became CIA Director.
And the woman who issued his phony birth certificate.

Well, I've been here since 1998, and commented on a lot of things.

Since you won't give me specifics, I am guessing you are one of the folks who are sore that I was critical of Jeff Sessions' weak, emasculated, meandering press conference last week where he recused himself.

Well, I was not the only one, and am in good company with someone who agrees with me.

"He was allegedly especially upset over Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to recuse himself from all FBI investigations regarding Russia on Thursday..."

“Until it’s you.”

Yes.

That’s on us to keep that from happening.

Eternal vigilance.

Note where his car exploded. A short stretch of Highland with that median with trees. That can’t be coincidence. They pushed boom where it would have the least chance of killing anyone else (and engendering a lawsuit).

- Future car will work as wifi center, On road other cars can have access to wifi from wifi center car. It is possible to have paid service.
- Gas station are already analyse behavior and in future will show ads on gas station based on behavior.
- Mobile user behavior analysis.
- Gamification
- Smart Thermostat can be used as surveillance (already on trial in Europe).
- Smart electricity meters

Don’t ever drive a car newer than a 2010.

People like bin Laden or IS leaders can be taken out this way. In fact, pretty much anyone can be taken out this way. By people who are unelected, invisible, and are often not seriously answerable to anyone.

Do you still say: "fantastic"?

Michael Hastings contacted WikiLeaks lawyer Jennifer Robinson just a few hours before he died, saying that the FBI was investigating him. @WikiLeaks

>>He said often “A car only needs gas, air and electricity. It doesn’t need no stupid computer.”

I get 435 hp out of a mere 5.0 liters and still get 18 mpg (23 if I drive like an mature adult) thanks to a computer. I’ll take my chances with the CIA.
