Connected vehicle data ‘can have intelligence value’ to adversaries: federal document
The memo says connected vehicles and other devices can expose Canadian data to surveillance, and 49,000 Chinese-made EVs are covered by a tariff deal.
- An internal report from The Public Safety Canada warns that data from connected vehicles could be exploited for surveillance, as these systems collect significant information on Canadians with intelligence value.
- Earlier this year, Canada pledged to reduce tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles to 6.1 per cent with an annual cap of 49,000 vehicles, though opening markets to new players can amplify the presence of high-risk vendors.
- National security laws in certain countries can compel manufacturers to share data; sending information to foreign jurisdictions with permissive management frameworks increases the risk of exploitation.
- Public Safety spokesperson Louis-Carl Brissette Lesage said Transport Canada published Vehicle Cyber Security Guidance in March 2020 and is developing additional tools to address connected vehicle security threats.
- Each Canadian must consider the "cybersecurity, privacy implications, and trustworthiness" of devices they purchase, as government officials warn that threats and tools must evolve throughout the vehicle life cycle.
