The demonstration was done at the Black Hat convention, which is a meeting of computer security professionals that takes places in Las Vegas. According to an article published by SC Magazine, Don Bailey and Matthew Solnik employed a technique they call “war texting,” which allowed them to setup a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network that could intercept the messages being sent between the Subaru Outback test car and the server that controls its software updates and other remotely-transmitted information.
While security products that protect computers have been around for years, mobile security software products have just started to roll out. Less than one out of 20 mobile phone users worldwide have security software installed in them, according to Juniper Research.
