NBC reports about the taxicab vulnerability

Jay DeDapper read my post about hacking a New York city taxi and did a more investigative piece about the potential unauthorized access. The Taxi and Limousine Commission claims everything has been fixed and is highly unlikely to happen again. However, Jay and his producer both had error messages in their cabs within the past week (and I’m sure others have) too.

Watch the video here or by clicking the screenshot below:

You can also read their article about it too.
