Wait so they haven't caught them yet? The article gave no names. And why do these pumps have Bluetooth? You might as well put in a USB service port.
Come on now! The pumps required you to enter the secret pairing code: โ12345โ
You fool! It was 00000, now you'll never have free gas!
You can disable Bluetooth and require remote SSH to enable it... ๐
BTW, have you heard about BadUSB?
that's not how this works
This is the kind of rigorous debate Iโm here for.
At least you can lock a usb port behind an access panel
