From Hands-free Systems to Tire-pressure Data, a New Field Known as CARINT Turns Vehicles Into Powerful Intelligence Tools

Israeli companies have developed and are selling advanced cyber tools that can hack into the tech of your car and use it to collect intelligence on you.

These tools can also assist in a cross-referencing of data to identify an intelligence target among tens of thousands of cars on the road. This technology can track the vehicle’s movements in real time and potentially eavesdrop on the people inside.

    I never signed up for the Hyundai BlueLink thing. The dealership pushed it - hard.

    “It used to be free for the first year and $40/year after, now it’s free for life, so why not do it?”

    “You can start your car in the office and let it warm up outside!”

    “The sales agent will get in trouble if you don’t activate BlueLink!”

    Well, I never activated so hopefully, whatever driving metrics it’s gathering aren’t directly associated with me. (One day I may dig under the hood and try to find the cell antenna and disconnect it.)
