$5M Data Hacking Suit Against Automakers in Texas

A Dallas trial lawyer has filed suit in California against Toyota, Ford and GM because the vehicle’s software is easily hacked. 

The suit claims:

• The automakers failed to ensure the basic electronic security of their vehicles
• The electronic security can be hacked by anyone
• The easy hack allows a person, who is not the driver, to  take control of the basic functions of the vehicle
• The vehicles thereby endanger the safety of the driver and others
