All Your Devices Can Be Hacked

I thought this video was very informing. It shined a light on all of the potential dangers of today's "smart" world. Avi Rubin provided a variety of experiments in which hackers were able to infiltrate devices we thought were secure. One thing I found most alarming is the fact that hackers were able to take over a car's internal system. This can be very dangerous if other people found out how to do it. The future ramifications of this are severe, as more and more people are buying smart devices, and newer cars. If people can teach themselves how to do this, it will be hard to remain safe. With such a dependence on technology, our society is in for a big wake up call.

Here is the link for the video:
