Jackware – a threat that could soon lock your car – Computer World (press release)

Ransomware, malicious oprogramowaie data encryption is currently
 one of the most serious and burdensome for
 Member risks. Can be felt everyone – individuals
 but also businesses. His future is for us too
 bright colors. Expert. Security company ESET, Stephen
 Cobb provides that in the future may be at risk
 evolve and begin to be dangerous not only for computers or
 smartphones but also for our cars
. They called them
  jackware , the combination of English words jack
 (Steal) and ware (from software ). Expert
 They define it as malicious software that tries to take over
 control of the device (in this case over a modern,
 internet-connected car), and then download the ransom
 in exchange for the possibility of its use.

This type of software, it is true not yet
 detected by security companies
but
 the evolution of ransomware also aims towards threatening
 the safety of modern vehicles. In largely based
 because they on electronics and software (for such solutions
 You can indeed learn more from our
 the section dedicated to the automotive industry), and are equally vulnerable
 as the computers, a good example is the recent matter of vulnerabilities detected in cars
 Fiat Chrysler.

While still theoretical, the threat may be as
 Dangerous (who knows, maybe even more so) as ransomware.
 From ESET they believe that should prevent it already
 now. They see two lines of action. The first is
 protection devices and car through encryption or
 authentication. The second would be global
 to prevent threats to cyber – interaction
 governments, law enforcement agencies and the private sector in order to stop
 the continuous development of market risks.
