Default Please don't hack my Jeep!

Looks like some Jeep Cherokee drivers may "lose control" Hackers, damn hackers!

Hacked Cherokee

I have AT&T vs Sprint and I didn't spring for the navigation system, so I guess I'm OK.

Not surprised at all. You just knew that this was going to happen soon or later.

This isnt a Jeep isolated issue. Any late model DBW car today can/could have its controls intercepted and actually become your personal coffin. Let’s say for example you’re on the NSA watch list and they decide you’re a problem. Wham!!!

That is the risk one when you drive a "Digital Book World" car.






Oh, I know you meant Drive By Wire.

This is the trade between having to bring your car into he dealer for a fix, versus,
"Your vehicle's operating system has received a performance update"


and of course if it's Microsoft immediately followed by
" Please pull to the side of the road, close all of your windows and restart your car."

I *wish* that were the problem with the '07 Jeep (Wrangler) I just picked up.

Anyone wanna' talk about "death wobble?" Just kidding, I don't want to talk about it at all; I just want it fixed so I don't cake my pants again.
