They demonstrated as much on the same day as my traumatic experience on I-64 After narrowly averting death by semi-trailer, I managed to roll the lame Jeep down an exit ramp, re-engaged the transmission by turning the ignition off and on, and found an empty lot where I could safely continue the experiment. The attack tools Miller and Valasek developed can remotely trigger more than the dashboard and transmission tricks they used against me on the highway. It’s the latest in a series of revelations from the two hackers that have spooked the automotive industry and even helped to inspire legislation WIRED has learned that senators Ed Markey and Richard Blumenthal plan to introduce an automotive security bill today to set new digital security standards for cars and trucks, first sparked when Markey took note of Miller and Valasek’s work in 2013.Īs an auto-hacking antidote, the bill couldn’t be timelier. Miller and Valasek plan to publish a portion of their exploit on the Internet, timed to a talk they're giving at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas next month. "When you lose faith that a car will do what you tell it to do," Miller observed at the time, "it really changes your whole view of how the thing works." Back then, however, their hacks had a comforting limitation: The attacker's PC had been wired into the vehicles' onboard diagnostic port, a feature that normally gives repair technicians access to information about the car's electronically controlled systems.Ī mere two years later, that carjacking has gone wireless. In the summer of 2013, I drove a Ford Escape and a Toyota Prius around a South Bend, Indiana, parking lot while they sat in the backseat with their laptops, cackling as they disabled my brakes, honked the horn, jerked the seat belt, and commandeered the steering wheel. This wasn't the first time Miller and Valasek had put me behind the wheel of a compromised car. "Remember, Andy," Miller had said through my iPhone's speaker just before I pulled onto the Interstate 64 on-ramp, "no matter what happens, don't panic." 1 Then they told me to drive the Jeep onto the highway. Instead, they merely assured me that they wouldn't do anything life-threatening. To better simulate the experience of driving a vehicle while it's being hijacked by an invisible, virtual force, Miller and Valasek refused to tell me ahead of time what kinds of attacks they planned to launch from Miller's laptop in his house 10 miles west. Their code is an automaker's nightmare: software that lets hackers send commands through the Jeep’s entertainment system to its dashboard functions, steering, brakes, and transmission, all from a laptop that may be across the country. The result of their work was a hacking technique-what the security industry calls a zero-day exploit-that can target Jeep Cherokees and give the attacker wireless control, via the Internet, to any of thousands of vehicles. Louis to be Miller and Valasek's digital crash-test dummy, a willing subject on whom they could test the car-hacking research they'd been doing over the past year. Just explain to them that someone else you don’t know has access to your account and ask them to sign off your account on all devices.The Jeep’s strange behavior wasn’t entirely unexpected. It’s against the TOS! You don’t want to mention this in your support request… You can contact them directly in the game:Īttention! If you bought the account from someone (or got it as a present, etc.), you need to be aware that Supercell will just ban your account if they find out. They are able to force logout your account on all devices and you can then load it on your device only. This is the point where you will need to contact Supercell. This means when your account is already loaded on another device, the user can access it, even when you changed all the passwords. The problem here is that you don’t need to log into your Clash of Clans account every time – you can simply play. Somebody can still be signed in with these accounts, so force logout on all devices!Īpple Step 2 – Your Clash of Clans Account Make sure to use SAFE passwords (8+ characters including numbers) and don’t use the same password on every account. Now you can be sure that no one can access these accounts anymore. Change the password of your Facebook, Google and Apple account.
