Fiat Chrysler launches bug bounty program for connected vehicles
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has launched a bug bounty program to attract white-hat hackers to spot out cybersecurity flaws in its products and connected services.
The program is focused on FCA's connected vehicles, including systems within them and external services and applications that link to them.
The move follows the remote hack and control of a Jeep Cherokee, one of the company’s products, by security researchers. That breach led to the recall of 1.4 million vehicles last year.
