CIO: Security Threat Stephen King Warned Us About

CIO has an article HERE titled "The Security Threat Stephen King Warned Us About?"  No, it's not about Cell.

Taylor Amerding opens his article with this hook:

"Most people know that their computers and smart phones are under the constant threat of attack from hackers. But your car? Your house? Your TV and other consumer electronics?

It seems like a take on Stephen King's short story "Trucks" -- where machines come to life and go on a murderous rampage (the movie version was "Maximum Overdrive"). In this case, hackers find security flaws in the computers running our vehicles, appliances and medical devices and wreak havoc.

Amerding also directs us to an article titled, "McAfee report reminds me of 'Maximum Overdrive."  (HERE)
