HUNDREDS of British buses have Chinese 'kill switch' which
could stop them in their tracks
Hundreds of British buses are at risk of being switched off
without warning by China through the use of an in-built
rCykill switchrCO.
Officials at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
and the Department for Transport (DfT) think China could
shut down buses travelling along British roads over
the internet.
Concerns were first raised in Norway that Chinese Yutong
electric buses could be rCLstopped or rendered inoperable
by the manufacturerrCY remotely by switching off the
batteries.
The DfT and the NCSC confirmed they were rCLlooking intorCY
the case amid fears the buses could be used by Beijing
as a means to meddle.
. . .
Norway discovered this like six months ago ... took
the Brits rather longer .......
What OTHER China tech, or things containing China tech,
have similar tricks built in ?
