two researchers demonstrated their ability to remotely hack a Jeep Cherokee while the driver was inside. They blasted cold air, turned on the radio and even immobilized the vehicle on a highway overpass.

smart-home devices such as doorbells, locks, lights, ovens and coffee makers can be highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Many lack basic security features, such as the ability to change the default password.

Smartphones tend to be more secure than smart-home devices, but their ubiquity and importance make them ripe for attacks. The risk could grow as smartphones become even more embedded in our lives, becoming our passports, car keys and more.
