Hacking Subarus

member how we talked about hackers gaining access to Subaru vehicles a year ago? The hackers were able to do all the things with the vehicles: start, stop, unlock, drive, etc… The white hackers reported the issues, and Subaru fixed the issues. 

The same white hackers are reporting that the fix was a bandage, and the wound still exists. Why? Because  the employee portal to vehicles remains vulnerable and allows vehicle location and other information to be readily available and sold. 

“The researchers also noted that this is an industrywide problem. The same web-based flaws also affect other carmakers like Acura, Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, and Toyota. “

Ohio companies investing in hydrogen cars

“When we see hydrogen transportation deployment projects, it’s really more on the medium- and heavy-duty side,” says Mark Henning, a researcher at Cleveland State University’s Energy Policy Center at the Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs. California has largely been the focus for hydrogen powered vehicles. Times are changing and now  3 Ohio companies are building a network for hydrogen vehicles.  Ohio’s interest in hydrogen vehicles tracks back to 2003 when the  Ohio Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Coalition was created.
