Could a hacker pull off a "Speed" style attack? You bet.
Dec 16, 2020 4:40pm Annie Porter, played by young actress Sandra Bullock in the 1994 thriller "Speed," had to jump a gap in an LA freeway to keep a city bus from going slower than 50 mph, all to prevent a bomb from exploding that was hidden aboard by an extortionist. As unlikely as it may seem, a McAfee expert says such a real-world attack is possible. (Alamy) In the 1994 action thriller Speed, an extortionist bomber rigs a city bus to explode if the driver drops its speed below 50 mph. Could something similar happen with a modern car or a bus, or even a futuristic self-driving vehicle?
