Scouting report
Won Pwn2Own repeatedly, was the first to publicly exploit the iPhone, and then, with Chris Valasek, cut the transmission of a Jeep Cherokee on a live highway from a couch miles away. Chrysler recalled 1.4 million vehicles. Automotive security became a real discipline overnight.
Curator’s note
One demo, 1.4 million recalled vehicles. Hard to argue with the receipts.
