Carjack Hack

A controversial technology created for the purpose of remotely disabling cars whose owners are delinquent on their payments is being called into question after the technology was misused by a disgruntled employee in Texas. A recently laid off auto center employee decided to seek revenge against his employer.   He remotely disabled over one hundred cars, frustrating their owners and drawing attention to another example of how the unintended uses of overreaching technology can turn everyday situations amok.
