Now-fixed web bugs allowed hackers to remotely unlock and start any of millions of Subarus. More disturbingly, they could also access at least a year of cars’ location histories—and Subaru employees still can.

Internet connected cars is the worst tech “innivation” since internet connected thermostats.

    My car is too old for this surveillance stuff but I do wonder if there’s a small computer (I’m imagining a Raspberry Pi but obviously it wouldn’t be that) that can be flashed, or if not plugged into another device that limits its ability to phone home (iptables and the like).

    I wonder of my Subaru is exposed since the connectivity services use Toyotas. I imagine it has its own employee portal for them to utilize. That also raises the question of what privacy rules are followed, Subarus or Toyotas?
