Terrorist Attacks, Rampaging Elephants & GPS Hacks
We love seeing what the ‘hackers’ can do with mobile devices, or at least, I do. Just the other week, we were hearing about a device that let you change your mate’s ringtone to a sound of your choosing, but now, your GPS can be controlled via means of FM frequenices. Usually used to send traffic and weather information to drivers, the RDS messages can now be tweaked by unwanted hackers, triggering various alerts on your GPS screen. Whether it be a terrorist incident or a full-out traffic jam, don’t trust yoru GPS next time it tells you to watch out for the rampaging elephant on Route 66.
