Connected vehicles can be at risk of hacking, consumer awareness paramount: experts
- Electric vehicles pose a significant cybersecurity risk, as they are vulnerable to hacking and theft of sensitive information. Their connection to the internet makes them particularly susceptible to privacy breaches.
- The rush to deploy EV charging infrastructure has led to vulnerabilities in the system, with cybersecurity being an afterthought during the design process. This puts customers' private information at risk, as well as potentially destabilizing the power grid if hackers gain control over multiple charging stations.
- To mitigate these risks, manufacturers are working on strengthening cybersecurity measures in vehicles, and drivers should regularly update their software to avoid attacks. Customers should also be cautious when connecting their phones in fleet cars or when selling a vehicle to protect their personal data.
