hatchback Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Is your LX470 or LS430 navigation system infected with a computer virus? According to this article http://www.infosecnews.com/news/index.cfm?...d&newsType=News it has already happened to some of us. "Lexus cars may be vulnerable to viruses that infect them via mobile phones. Landcruiser 100 models LX470 and LS430 have been discovered with infected operating systems that transfer within a range of 15 feet.... It is understood the virus could affect the navigation system of the Lexus models, it transfers onto them via a Bluetooth mobile phone connection." Although SC Magazine appears to be a reputable source, the article itself seems more alarmist than factual. Do you know anyone whose Lexus was infected with a computer virus? Or is this just more fear mongering from the anti-virus software companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
