- Potapych! You better get to the point!

— I couldn’t find anything smarter Safety Tales: The Smartphone-Era Car
Vladimir Bezmaly | 11/17/2017
─ Boss, good morning! How do you feel about the widespread integration of electronic control into cars?
─ Karl, your questions are always tricky! Admit it, what did you find this time?
─ Well... That's not interesting!
─ And yet?
─ What can I say? I found out that they are going to install a control system using a smartphone in the new car.
─ Wait, what do they say about channel encryption? About who and how generates encryption keys? And if the owner loses the smartphone? How to transfer the settings? How can the owner ultimately prove that he is the legal owner of this car?
─ I don’t know, boss!
─ You asked a good riddle. You need to jordan mobile database the manufacturer.
Six months have passed.
─ Boss, as I said, a car with control via a smartphone has finally come out. And what's more, the car dealership brought such a car to the capital. Now we can "crawl" around it and try what it is.
─ Now this is your task! Karl, you remember that here, as in the army, initiative is punishable?
than to upload the lists from last year and this year to a site where you can compare files for free.
- Idiot!
— Absolutely! As a result, both lists ended up on the Internet in the public domain, which was used by the attackers. In the end, we saved on purchasing software and a responsible employee, but we got a leak that we will have to pay for. And it would be good if only with money, otherwise, if all this leaked to the press, we would also have to launder our reputation. And that is very time-consuming and expensive!
Unfortunately, such a story is not uncommon. Much more trouble is caused by poorly trained users and especially IT specialists than by attacks by intruders. Not long ago, a similar leak was registered in the Maine Office of Information Technology, Maine, USA. Is your organization thinking about training its staff?
- I know, unfortunately. A slob with initiative. And what did he do?
