The hacker Sick Codes fires a warning shot at the security of computerised farm equipment after breaking into the controls of a John Deere tractor to install the video game DOOM.
An Australian hacker has fired a warning shot at the security of computerised farm equipment after breaking into the controls of a John Deere tractor to install the video game DOOM.
"I wonder what everyone else is doing. Some of the other companies, nobody's looked at them, I wonder what surprises are out there." In a statement, John Deere said its top priority was the protection of customers, their machines, and their data. "The work that Sick Codes has done really sets the groundwork, it lays the foundation for owners being able to take back control."
Professor Wiseman said some companies like Apple and Samsung had shifted their approach to self-repair, but others were still using security or intellectual property concerns to keep consumers out.
