Hackers take control of 2014 Jeep Cherokee steering – Video

 

Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, the team of security researchers responsible for the feat that led to a massive recall for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, have developed new schemes to hack into cars. The team focused on the same 2014 Jeep Cherokee that was used in last year’s hacking demonstration.

This time, the hack was not made wirelessly, instead, the two researchers had to connect an OBD-II plug to the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics port, which they used to mess with the vehicle’s CAN bus connection.
