US- Chrysler recalls 1.4m vehicles in wake of Jeep hacking revelation
(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Fiat Chrysler announced the recall of about 1.4m cars and trucks in the US after security researchers showed that one of its cars could be hacked over the internet.
BBC reported that Chrysler said it was issuing a voluntary recall to update the software in affected vehicles.
The company added that hacking its vehicles was a "criminal action".
Security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek demonstrated that it was possible for hackers to control a Jeep Cherokee remotely, using the car's entertainment system which connected to the mobile data network.
Fiat Chrysler said exploiting the flaw "required unique and extensive technical knowledge, prolonged physical access to a subject vehicle and extended periods of time to write code."
