    Learn how to use these car hacking safety tips to protect your vehicle from cyber threats.

    Technology is ever advancing. From smartphones to smart cars, digital devices play an integral role in our everyday lives. While these devices help to make life easier, they also pose a new set of risks. These devices are vulnerable when it comes to cyber attacks. This threat is especially of concern when it comes to your car. Vehicles with the latest technology like keyless ignitions are at risk for hacking. Take precautions to protect your vehicle with these car hacking safety tips.

    Update Your Software.

    When it comes to your car’s computer system, it’s important to update your car’s software. The more up to date your software, the better able it is to defend itself against threats. However, be cautious when it comes to your updates. Look out for updates that may seem to come from your manufacture. It’s not uncommon for hackers to send update messages to look like official updates only to infect your vehicle with malware.

    Limit Access to Your Vehicle.

    When it comes to keeping your car safe, it’s important that you lock up. Ensure that you take the necessary precautions to keep your car safe. Be wary of who you let tinker with your car. Ensure that you trust whoever touches your vehicle so that you can reduce the risk of any cyber disasters.

    Use Caution When Connecting.

    Your car has computer software, and so your car should be treated just like a computer. From Bluetooth to USB ports, don’t connect your car to any questionable devices. Only use devices that you trust so that you can reduce the risk for any breach in cyber security.

    Keep your vehicle secure with these car hacking safety tips and the right auto insurance. Contact the professionals at NorthStar Risk Management & Insurance Services, Inc. in Walnut Creek, California for all your commercial and personal insurance needs.
