Yet another car can be hacked – this time it's the Mitsubishi Outlander hybrid

Mitsubishi urged to recall at least 100,000 cars after hackers remotely turned off the alarm system, controlled the lights and drained the battery

A team of security researchers are calling on Mitsubishi to recall at least 100,000 Outlander hybrid cars after exposing a security breach that allowed the hackers to remotely turn off the car's alarm system, control the lights and drain the battery.

Ken Munro, the security expert who led the investigation, was tipped off about the vulnerability when his friend's Outlander showed up as a wifi access point on his phone. Curious, he bought one of the cars himself and set about hacking it.
