Israeli companies have developed and are selling advanced cyber tools that can hack into the tech of your car and use it to collect intelligence on you.
Three years ago, Haaretz revealed the existence of the offensive cyber intelligence company Toka, which was co-founded by former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and a former Israel Defense Forces cyber chief, Brig. Gen. (ret.) Yaron Rosen. The firm specialized in hacking into security cameras, but as documents obtained by Haaretz at the time revealed, Toka also had a product called CARINT that fused camera data with data linked to cars.
At the time, the industry was in its infancy. But industry sources say that Toka has since expanded its offering on cars. It has developed and even sold a product capable of hacking into a specific vehicle’s multimedia systems, pinpointing its location and tracking its movements; that is, a specific model by a specific manufacturer. The technology can even remotely access the microphone of the vehicle’s hands-free system, allowing eavesdropping on the driver, and even tap into cameras installed on the dashboard or around the car.
If you connect your car to your phone, the police can get into your phone, without a warrant, without much effort, without you knowing. They can see pretty much everything. Something about an old supreme court decision from a hundred years back, cars are mobile so they can’t get warrants, and our dishonorable supreme court naturally endorsed dishonoring the 4th amendment to give police more power. I think this is the article, from a couple of years back or something if so: https://theintercept.com/2021/05/03/car-surveillance-berla-msab-cbp/
