It seems that car thieves have been targeting the keyless entry systems of high end vehicles, taking advantage of insecure security in their on board computers. In addition to stolen cars, this has also caused some insurers in the UK to refuse coverage for certain models of Range Rovers in London unless their owners take additional security measures. This is an interesting development – if your potential customers can’t get insurance coverage because your car (or other device’s) computer enabled systems aren’t secure, then you have a real incentive to fix the problem. Now how do we apply this to other types of systems?
