Cyberattack on vehicle breathalyzer company leaves drivers stranded across the US
A cyberattack on a major vehicle breathalyzer company has left drivers across the United States unable to start their cars. The company provides ignition interlock devices that are court-mandated for DUI offenders. The attack disrupted the system's ability to verify users, effectively stranding people who rely on the devices to drive legally.
They're being unfairly punished twice - first by the legal system requiring the devices, and now by a company's failure to protect its systems. Many argue they shouldn't be stranded because of corporate cybersecurity failures when they're already complying with court orders.
Cyberattacks are an increasingly common threat that even major corporations struggle to prevent completely. The company is likely working around the clock to restore service, and temporary disruptions are unfortunate but not necessarily due to negligence.
