-- TEXAS -- More than 100 drivers in Austin, Texas found their cars disabled or the horns honking out of control, after an intruder ran amok in a web-based vehicle-immobilization system normally used to get the attention of consumers delinquent in their auto payments.Always a few bugs in the system, I guess.
Police with Austin’s High Tech Crime Unit on Wednesday arrested 20-year-old Omar Ramos-Lopez, a former Texas Auto Center employee who was laid off last month, and allegedly sought revenge by bricking the cars sold from the dealership’s four Austin-area lots.Say... anybody else got one of Dalton McSlippery's smart electric meters?
Be interesting to see what happens when they upgrade the firmware, or roll out the energy-saving apps everyone was gassing about.
