Can we call it a theory when it's being demonstrated in the video?

And when Wikileaks has not yet been shown incorrect in anything they have released?

When the light of day exposes wrong-doing, that helps destroy it.

Think the bottom line is that today, nothing is hidden. OTOH it can be obfusticated. Has been a lot of water over the dam since the great bald eagle coined the CIA acronym - Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability - one is trivial, two is merely expensive, all three is nearly (but not quite) impossible.

 

Would you believe cryptography was a hobby long before it became my job - and started being paid the last year Pontiac had a tripower ?

When a 68 year old redneck mechanic from western New York can quote TCP port numbers in casual conversation and accesses files at home remotely using the octet IP address, the mystery has kind of vaporized. And the three later generations can do better.

Thanks for the link to the Motor Trend article, Joe.

Our little discussion here beat Motor Trend to the news,

and was much more complete.

 

I find it ironic that the F. B. I. is alerting drivers to possible

hacking, when a different branch of the very same government,

the C. I. A., is reported to be doing the hacking for deadly purposes!
