WIKILEAKS : CIA Hackers Want to Take Control of Your Car

In the recent Wikileaks CIA bombshell, it’s been discovered that the CIA has considered developing technology to hack the driving systems of vehicles.

From WikiLeaks’ press release:

As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks. The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.

CIA meeting notes from 2014 show that the agency’s Embedded Devices Branch (EDB) was looking at “vehicle systems (e.g VSEP)” as a “potential mission area.”

This appears to have been part of a wider effort on the part of the CIA to take control of the “internet things” — a term used in the technology community to refer to the growing connectivity of physical devices through the internet.

The meeting notes specifically notes “the internet of things” as another potential EDB mission area.
