A former cybersecurity advisor to President George W. Bush says a sophisticated computer hack could have been the cause of the automobile accident that claimed the life of journalist Michael Hastings last week in Los Angeles.
Richard Clarke, a State Department official-turned-special advisor to several United States presidents, said the early morning auto crash last Tuesday was “consistent with a car cyberattack,” raising new questions about the death of the award-winning journalist.
Hastings died last week when his 2013 Mercedes C250 coupe collided with a tree in Los Angeles, California on the morning of June 18. He was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at a red light moments before the single-car crash. He was only 33.
Speaking to Huffington Post this week, Clarke said that a cyberattack waged at the vehicle could have caused the fatal collision.

Watch the first three minutes or so where Dr. Kathleen Fisher talks about remotely taking control of an auto's braking, acceleration and steering. It should scare the hell out of everyone they have this ability.

DeleteYes... the story of the car speeding out of control, and crashing and killing the Journalist just stunk of foul play the moment I read it. Now this story lends some credence to my gut feeling. Not the first time stories being investigated were brought to a quick end by removing the person doing the investigating.
ReplyDeleteThe present times that we live in, nothing, and I do mean NOTHING is a shock to me anymore. That in itself is troubling. The pace of Federal abuse in all facets is accelerating beyond our (we the people) ability to keep up with every unconstitutional "executive order", law, edict, moratorium, etc. The most tragic thing of all, most "Americans" no longer care.
Fear, ignorance, apathy... Death.
Mind boggling.
