Source of data': are electric cars vulnerable to cyber spies and hackers?
Briefly

Recent warnings from British defense firms have highlighted concerns over the cybersecurity risks associated with connecting mobile devices to Chinese-made electric cars. Experts in the field suggest that electric vehicles, equipped with microphones, cameras, and Wi-Fi, have multiple entry points that hackers could exploit for data extraction. With features that allow over-the-air software updates, these vehicles can also serve as surveillance tools. Professionals in sensitive sectors are urged to avoid connecting work phones to such vehicles, as this could inadvertently expose sensitive information to cyber threats.
Experts warn that electric cars, with their advanced connectivity features, could be exploited to compromise data, making them potential targets for cyber espionage.
Connecting personal devices to electric cars may pose data security risks, especially for individuals in sensitive positions, due to potential data exfiltration.
