Norway transport firm steps up controls after tests show
Chinese-made buses can be halted remotely
A leading Norwegian public transport operator has said it will
introduce stricter security requirements and step up anti-
hacking measures after a test on new Chinese-made electric
buses showed the manufacturer could remotely turn them off.
Transport operator Ruter said test results published last week
showed that Chinese bus maker Yutong Group had access to their
control systems for software updates and diagnostics. "In theory,
this could be exploited to affect the bus," it said.
The tests—with buses driven in underground mines to strip away
external signals—were conducted both on brand-new Yutong buses
and on three-year old vehicles from Dutch bus manufacturer VDL,
the company said. It said the tests showed that the Dutch buses
didn't have the ability to conduct over-the-air software updates,
while the Chinese-made buses did.

At least they're LOOKING.
How many others did ?
And, did anyone expect Chinese tech to NOT
have "backdoors" ???
