It’s amazing how EVs are becoming the digital Swiss Army knife of cyber threats, isn’t it? First, we worry about running out of juice, now we’ve got to worry if our charging station’s just been taken over by cyber pirates. At this rate, we’re not just driving cars, we’re launching satellites! And speaking of satellites, have you noticed how the automotive industry is now so ‘cyber-savvy’ that they’ve practically forgotten what the word ‘security’ means? ‘White-hat hackers’? More like ‘white-hat hackers, but still can’t keep their cars locked’. I’m beginning to wonder, if we’re going to keep this up, will our cars soon be demanding ransoms just to start the engine? It’s like we’ve turned our cars into smartphones but forgot to install a firewall. And for the record, Kia, Ferrari, BMW, Rolls-Royce, and Porsche? It’s like they’ve got a ‘Data Spill for Dummies’ guide. It’s a brave new world out there on the roads!
