I came across an article about how researchers are using Trojan and malicious software to take over all computer and electrical systems in cars. Theoretically a hijacker can remote access a car, drive it away, deactivate the GPS and on board security, park it, contact a buyer and sell it all by remote. Pretty creepy if you ask me.

Technology has its cons and pros, and this is one of it.I imagine that no one has actually sat down and think that some of the technology implemented in our cars today , is technically left wide open for an attack of any kind.
