One can only hope that "breaking system" is meant to be humorous.

Here is a zero-day hack as reported by Watchguard. If you own a Chrysler you need to update. As mentioned in the video post, this also exposes another problem with IoT; how easy is it to update your IoT device.

Just another bloody thing I've got to learn to program!

Of course, you could just take it to the dealership. It should only take them 5 minutes. However, the jeep will sit in the parking lot for a week. And then they may charge you extra for their "tech support guy" instead of a mechanic. OK. maybe you should learn to do it yourself.

Here is Sophos' take on this.
