Abstract

Systems of the cars have been connected electronically to facilitate communication, monitoring and controlling the car. However, the systems are faced with security vulnerabilities that impact the normal functioning of the vehicle due to external controls. The research will be based on the literature review of other researchers and the interview from the car owners and factories. Several attacks that have been performed on the vehicles using different malware to gain access to the electronic access unit of the vehicles system. To counter the attack, several ways have been used including implementation of the firewall, updating the software of the car, and hiding the WiFi password which are mostly used by attackers to gain access. The counter methods will help to change the behavior of the electronic access unit of the vehicles. Its recommended that the car owner are to ensure they implement strong security system and take caution to reduce the rate of car hacking.
