    No. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this work.

    A car does not automatically accept commands to devices it connects to because of some inherent trust. The car would be programmed to only accept commands from devices it expects to send it such commands.

    Anyone who allows the toaster to not only command the car but alap unlock the car should be fired and blackballed from the industry. That’s not a whoopsie, learning experience. That’s an unforgivable level of incompetence.

      The kind of mistake someone on a work visa working 85 hours a week and sleeping in the office so they don’t get fired might make you say?

        Interesting that the Lemmy hive mind wants this to be true, yet another indication that this place does not have a strong technical knowledge base. But no, this wouldn’t be the decision of a single person. That isn’t what this exploit is but again, trying to explain things to people who don’t understand the technical side of things isn’t a winning battle.
