Is Your Car Safe? Israeli Technologies Turn Cars into Surveillance Devices
Israeli sources have revealed a disturbing and exciting development in the world of cybersecurity, where Israeli companies specializing in this field have begun to innovate technologies that transform modern internet-connected cars into advanced spying devices.
These technologies, known as "CARINT" (Car Intelligence), include the ability to remotely access microphones inside the car, such as hands-free systems, dashboard cameras, and rearview cameras, in addition to tracking the car's movement in real-time via GPS data and a SIM card.
Sources confirmed that these tools can integrate the data they collect with other intelligence sources using artificial intelligence to produce a comprehensive intelligence picture of the target that includes location, conversations, and those present inside the car.
These technologies are sold to government and private entities, with some companies offering "full intelligence coverage" of the target inside the car.
This comes at a time when modern cars that automatically send their data to the cloud are an easy target for intelligence exploitation.
Israel leads the global field of cybersecurity espionage through various widespread programs and technologies, making this development in car infiltration a new indicator of the extension of digital security threats into our daily lives directly.
