What happened to Michael Hastings? The revelation that Rolling Stone
journalist Michael Hastings was working on a story about the CIA before
his death and had contacted a Wikileaks lawyer about being under
investigation by the FBI hours before his car exploded into flames has
bolstered increasingly valid claims that the 33-year-old was
assassinated.
Hastings died last week in Hollywood when his car hit a tree at high speed.
According to a prominent security analyst, technology exists that
could’ve allowed someone to hack his car. Former U.S. National
Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and
Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke told The Huffington Post that what is
known about the single-vehicle crash is “consistent with a car cyber
attack.”
Clarke said, “There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for
major powers” — including the United States — know how to remotely seize
control of a car.
“What has been revealed as a result of some research at universities is
that it’s relatively easy to hack your way into the control system of a
car, and to do such things as cause acceleration when the driver doesn’t
want acceleration, to throw on the brakes when the driver doesn’t want
the brakes on, to launch an air bag,” Clarke told The Huffington Post.
“You can do some really highly destructive things now, through hacking a
car, and it’s not that hard.”
It’s possible that Hastings car was hacked considering the people he had
written about in his past and what he recently had been talking about.
Kathleen Fisher from DARPA recently did a presentation on the ease of
hacking a standard american sedan. Volvo started the SARTRE (Safe Road
Trains for the Environment) program in 2009 and they are now reporting
that their testing has been "successfully completed." Hacking of a
lemmings train like Volvo’s, could lead to massive collisions on the
roads and there should be major security concerns considering what
recently has been learned.
