Cars safe from computer viruses
Wednesday, 11th May 2005
A security firm has proved that todays cars cannot catch computer viruses.
After exhaustive testing Finnish security firm F-Secure has failed to make a virus leap from a mobile phone handset to a car’s onboard communications system.
F-Secure did the tests in response to rumours that some Lexus cars had been infected by a virus.
But the phone system on the vehicle did not respond to any of the attacks tried out by F-Secure researchers.
Well, that’s a relief!
