Researchers Mount Successful GPS Spoofing Attack Against Road Navigation Systems

Academics say they’ve mounted a successful GPS spoofing attack against road navigation systems that can trick humans into driving to incorrect locations. Previous attacks have been unable to fool humans, who, in past experiments, often received malicious driving instructions that didn’t make sense or were not in sync with the road infrastructure. Researchers say their algorithm allows an attacker to select an area where they could lure victims. The attack is also successful against self-driving cars, as users are often more trustworthy in these types of vehicles than normal cars.
