Interesting to me that you know, the sort of I guess what I would describe as leading edge vulnerabilities grab headlines people's ability to to shut down a car or remotely control it steering or shifted into a different gear something like that.

So the sensor misreads them that all kind of make sense when you're thinking about new features. But what else Tommy actually does has you sit in the ical and buy things, right? So payment processing, it keeps a log of where you've been where you're going. You're pattern of life. It may be part of how messaging information sort of lease you, and and and comes into out of the vehicle may have you know, microphones will have microphones in the vehicle that that could potentially be vulnerable. These are more like the normal things that we we worry about payment information privacy concerns inside security, and so Altana me is going to change the landscape in automotive in a way to actually bring it more into the mainstream from a security perspective. That's Denis Cosgrove from Booz Allen Hamilton. So you think it's just the good guys who are working hard to get that notoriously scarce, cyber security talent think again, the skids over at the dark overlord who rose to a certain cheap level of fame by leaking spoilers to orange is the new black went on a recruiting."
