The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has ruled that a lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler over a hacking incident can proceed.
In 2015, cybersecurity researchers publicly demonstrated their ability to remotely control a Jeep Cherokee through vulnerabilities in its connected entertainment system.
This decision is significant as it allows consumers affected by the hacking incident to seek legal action against Fiat Chrysler.
The plaintiffs in the case are consumers who owned or leased vehicles affected by the hack, while Fiat Chrysler is the defendant.
This ruling could set a precedent for cybersecurity standards in the automotive industry and hold manufacturers accountable for vulnerabilities in their vehicles.
Fiat Chrysler has stated that they are committed to the security of their customers and vehicles and will defend themselves in court.
If found liable, Fiat Chrysler could face penalties and damages for any losses incurred by consumers as a result of the hack.
Consumers can protect themselves by ensuring their vehicles software is up to date and being cautious about connecting to unsecured networks.
