Vehicles’ electronic systems are vulnerable to hacking attacks because security has not been a priority
In the face of tumbling car crime figures in the UK, McAfee is predicting that increasing use of technology in cars is likely to
make them more vulnerable rather than more secure.
Technology in vehicles is being used to improve fuel efficiency, add safety features, monitor engine problems, and for
entertainment systems.

(pictured) uses the cloud to organise the driver’s life through connections to their appointments diary, mapping, and traffic
conditions information, and it was on show at the IFA 2011consumer electronics show in Germany over the past week.
