[The Register] Ford's 400,000-car recall could be the tip of an auto security iceberg

Ford’s recall of more than 400,000 cars in North America to fix a software bug may be just the first of many for the motor industry as automobiles become increasingly complex, security researchers warn.

As previously reported, a total of 433,000 2015 Focus, C-MAX and Escape cars are being recalled to dealerships for a software update as a result of the snafu – which means drivers may not be able to turn off engines on some of the latest vehicles, even if they remove the ignition key – as a notice by the car maker explains.
