" The Canadian military is worried enemies may attack an unlikely, unseen vulnerability: the software of a car. Canada&amp;#039;s Department of National Defense posted a\u00A0notice seeking someone who could hack a government-provided vehicle and not only explain how they did it, but how to prevent it from happening again. According to the listing, &amp;quot;a\u00A0car produced in 2014 may include up to 100 computers that run 60 million of lineof codes and manage 145 actuators and 75 sensors. These ECUs exchange up to 25 gigabytes of data every hour on the vehicle internal communication bus.&amp;quot; The job posting\u00A0also notes that hackers could use wired and wireless means\u2014everything from a diagnostic cable port to a car&amp;#039;s Bluetooth signal\u2014to gain access to the central computer system.\u00A0 The request goes on to say\u00A0that car hacking is a potentially dangerous activity that lends itself to terrorism and acts of sabotage. Unlike PC hacking, which results in compromised personal information, car hacking exposes the software controls of vehicles, controls\u00A0which could be altered to make them to stop working, intentionally crash or otherwise harm people.\u00A0 The request comes after earlier this year hackers managed to turn off the engine of a moving Jeep by hacking into the car&amp;#039;s telematics system. The hackers, including a former employee of the National Security Agency, were able to tamper with the car&amp;#039;s steering, brakes and engine after gaining entry to the car&amp;#039;s entertainment system. In response, Fiat Chrysler issued a software fix that tightened their cars&amp;#039; security. Under the terms of the Canadian military&amp;#039;s contract the hacker&amp;#039;s target will be an 2015 light pickup truck, the precise model left unnamed so aspiring hackers can&amp;#039;t get a head start.\u00A0 Think you&amp;#039;re interested? The job pays $205,000 Canadian (a little over $150,000 American), with a project budget of another $400,000. Any work you do will become the property of Canada. The job is limited to Canadians only, and will require you to relocate to the Defence Research and Development Center Valcartier in Quebec.\u00A0 Credit: CBC News.
