Demo Jeep hack could have military implications

As military vehicles become increasingly dependent on electronics and computers, much as are commercial cars and trucks, program manager must take cybersecurity needs into account.

I think it will be the country's financial institution. We are a huge target for financial collapse. Like Greece. Thoughts?

Ah, SGM Private RallyPoint Member , it's much worse than vehicles. Power plants, nuclear power plants, dams, the food supply chain, the electrical grid, gas grid, refineries....all vulnerable to cyber attack. And while I'm sure most of the nuke plants have at least decent security, it's probably not enough, and won't be, until something actually happens and causes actual dollars to be spent. Dollars that almost certainly will be measured in lives. As for things like the electrical grids and refineries that aren't under such direct governmental control? I'd bet everything I have that those targets aren't just soft, they're downright malleable, because corporations never fix problems until they start costing money. And again in this case, that's going to be measured in lives.
