Researchers say the Controller Area Network in cars can be exploited if attackers “error flood” the CAN. Vulnerable vehicles are those that use the controller Area Network bus protocol. The denial-of-service attack causes critical systems to shut down. It’s undetectable to current security systems designed for vehicles. The research adds to a growing body of research into how software and vulnerabilities and design flaws could put drivers and passengers at risk. Mitigating the attack may be difficult without rewriting the CAN bus protocol, researchers say.”]
