Hackers take control of a Jeep Cherokee and CRASH it into a ditch

Hackers take control of a Jeep Cherokee and crash it into a ditch

Security researchers Charlie Miller, a former staffer at the NSA, and Chris Valasek (inset) used just a laptop and mobile phone to access the Jeep' s on-board systems via its Internet connection.
In the first such breach of its kind, security experts cut out the engine and applied the brakes on the Jeep Cherokee - sending it into a spin. They claim that more than 470,000 cars made by Fiat Chrysler could be at risk of being attacked by similar means - including those driven in the UK.
