Experts warn that hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in car systems through connected apps and online services. A study analyzed 413 security flaws, revealing that a significant portion is linked to external applications. This poses risks to personal data, including driving routes and addresses. An incident exposed data from 800,000 Volkswagen vehicles, highlighting the potential for serious breaches. Researchers emphasize the need for regular software updates and strong passwords to protect vehicles. The responsibility also lies with manufacturers to ensure that vulnerabilities in non-essential systems do not compromise critical vehicle functions.
