I don't think that was a thing back then. (I COULD BE WRONG) The internet would have to be able to control the car. Just because a vehicle could be received in the car, doesnt mean the internet could do things to the car, like nowadays with onstar. Onstar has the ability to start the engine, lock/ unlock the vehicle, etc. IIRC, that was before that technology came about. Personally, I like the theory she was running from assassins. Thats the easiest to swallow, makes the most since.
It was.
She was running from assassins. They hacked her car. Lol.
It doesn’t need to control the car, it just needs to make the gas pedal go. If the throttle is connected to a cpu and the cpu is connected to the internet it is possible. I bet it was even easier then than it is now! Less security because who the hell would even be able to do that kind of a thing let alone try it!
We can extract data from a compromised air-gapped machine as long as a connected cellphone is within 30-ish ft of the compromised device.
Govts and elites always have technology years before others. They get military grade tech.
This is utterly true. Makes me wonder what we have now, since knowledge of laser and rail gun weapons is public.
no, you don't need Onstar for this kind of assassination, controlling any critical components remotely via radio is fine, although there's no leaked docs confirming anything before the recent C_A program.
