Video Daily: Angry former employee shuts down 100 cars remotely

Its just comforting to know that your car can be diabled via a computer. I personally would rather worry about it being stolen, than have this technology in place. And what is up with this idiot? He's mad at his employer, so he takes it out on the customers? I don't get it.

Piss off customers will lead to bad word of mouth will lead to less sells.

Razor: Remember, hacking is more than just a crime. It's a survival trait.

Good job kid. So why did they fire you?

On the other hand why so stupid to do it from your house?

lol, at changing customer information to "2Pac," etc.

Wow if I had known they were putting those in cars I go elsewhere, that just sounds stupid in the first place.

My local news also reported that he ordered $130,000 in parts from the GPS maker and is facing felony charges. What a moron!

It is like DRM...for cars!!!

You better pay your bill on time...if you are a day late, your car won't start, and you can't drive to go pay it!

Hilarious. Too bad he wasn't more clever.

lol this is rather funny apart from the fact somebody could have had an accident or had something very important to do. By funny i mean the honking horns ^^

"He's mad at his employer, so he takes it out on the customers? I don't get it."

Yeah lol ever worked in retail, customers and some bosses ain't all that nice =)

Check out the reporter error at 44 seconds. "They can track the car down and start it from stopping."

Start it from stopping?
