Terror in the car wash...

-

BILLY Rios revealed in another shocking demonstrat­ion how he and a colleague hacked into the controls of a car wash and used it to damage a vehicle.

With the consent of the owner, they were able to control the car wash shutters and slam them down on the bonnet of an approachin­g vehicle in a test. They could also trap the car inside the car wash chamber.

The car wash was made by US firm PDQ, which has more than 10,000 worldwide, including ‘a handful’ in the UK. A spokesman said informatio­n had been sent to all customers and distributo­rs on steps that can be taken right now to drasticall­y reduce the risk of ‘unlawful intrusion’.
