LOL - I held back on making an ABS joke in my previous post.

An update for everyone who is concerned about this (no one?).
Sprint stepped up and blocked access to the port that was used for the initial gateway into the system, effectively mitigating this attack. There is still danger from physical access as the firmware modification could still occur through the CAN interface or theoretically through a malicious USB thumb drive used to install an update. Chrysler also initiated a full blown recall for all the affected vehicles. This means the S/W update will get applied by dealer techs and will not require the owners to use the Internet and a USB thumb drive.
As these sort of things become more common, how long until we see some group try to leverage people's acceptance of this and start sending out letters and USB drives claiming to be S/W updates from the manufacturer?
