Okaaaaaaay…. yep that stupid arse movie is out. Yes, the one with the line “He hacked into my car’s computer.” You now have the buzz statement of the year that is going to annoy the hell out those of us that work in the IT and computer industries. Yes, you can conceivably hack into a car’s chip… if you are in the car itself while doing it. Yes, you can make the car not run and screw with the radio and the GPS, but trying to totally disable a car by hacking its “computer” is just not practical and, for most cars, impossible.
And this stupid thing about an untraceable website is ludicrous. If you know anything about DNS and domain names know that the location of the actual hosting server is easy to figure out and it would take almost no effort to quickly shut the site down. Come on, the FBI is not stupid.
Just another example of how Hollywood does not know a thing about IT.
Check out this movie… if you dare!
Note: I had the movies embedded, but it screwed the hell out of my page format. I guess I’ll have to fix that.
