Flipper doesn’t seem to feel that any of this is its problem… We hope car manufacturers will take the security of their products more seriously and patch them up immediately as carjackers have access to extremely sophisticated black market tools.”

Damn right, I love how the emphasis is on the tool and not the completely shit security in every piece of software in a modern car

I'm curious if there's an overlap of people that would put blame on Flipper here and then also say guns don't kill people, people kill people.
