Does the CIA Have the Technology to Hack Your Car? Researcher Reveals Google Home Speakers Could’ve Been Turned Into Wiretaps

In 2017 Wikileaks revealed that the CIA was working on ways of hacking a vehicle's control systems as early as 2014. Other hackers have already done it, as early as 2015. Do you think the CIA (and other intelligence and law enforcement agencies) have figured it out yet? Yeah, me too.  Think of all the ways Government can use such technology. Besides the obvious use of being able to assassinate someone, as allegedly happened with journalist Michael Hastings back in 2013, Governments could use it in emergency use situations where they want to lockdown the population and control how many vehicles are allowed on the streets.  If enough people demand vehicles unconnected from the Internet, I am sure a good aftermarket product line would develop to "deconnect" modern vehicles. Likewise, earlier model vehicles prior to the Internet revolution that never were connected could become valuable in the used car market. ZeroHedge News reported today that Google's Home Speakers could have been used for wiretaps for several years before a "patch" was developed for it.
