Krusty, I have been saying stuff like that since I was a little kid, and people told me that I was crazy, or that I didn't know what I was talking about.  Well, just imagine how crazy they would look trying to talk to their car into unlocking the doors so they can get their keys all because someone hacked their OnStar, and locked it down lol.  I am not saying that I would do that, but I am also not saying I wouldn't just to get a video to America's Funniest Videos.  I am just making a neutral observation.

 

Basically, anything with an electronic/radio/light/energy signal can be hacked if someone had the either the skill, and/or the right programs to be able to do it.  The only sure way to not get hacked is to blast things with EMPs (Electro-Magnetic Pulses) so that every signal gets fried.  At least that will work until a hacker figures out a way to use EMPs to hack into something that was believed to be destroyed.  That would be like hacking using meta-physical quantum mechanics.  This is theoritically possible, and if something like that was discovered, then it would be scary.  Also, something else that people find shocking is when they hear that no system is 100% secure all the time.

 

People think that because something says locked, or secured that it is safe.  I guess those people never heard of Breaking and Entering.  What good did a lock do to keep their house safe?  People need to wake up, and realize how vulnerable they can be if they don't start taking precations to at least slow malicious users down.
