Popular Post Crossy Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 The electric car chargers along one of the most important freeways in Russia are all down Monday after the Ukrainian company tasked with building the main components in the chargers used backdoor access to hack them, shut them down, and program anti-Putin/pro-Ukrainian messages to scroll past on their screens https://jalopnik.com/russian-company-outsourced-the-main-components-in-ev-ch-1848603252 6 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would lay odds that there's a back-door (or 10), I'd say a dead cert! Some years ago I worked for a UK company that made some prototype equipment for a German client. There was a relatively "secret" manufacturer menu accessed by a 6 digit code. The first version access code was 191418 - The client discovered this and for some reason wasn't very happy Version 2 used 193945 - Prompting a rather "cool" response. V3.0 used 421966 - By this time the client had either given up or failed to understand. Yes, we did get that manufacturing contract but the production equipment used a different code. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Muhendis Posted March 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2022 I'm very happy that this "back door" hack has been actioned on this occasion however it also highlights the potential for manipulating warranty periods. The product stops working about five minutes after warranty has expired and the repair bill is significantly more than the cost of resetting the date on an internal processor. I have a feeling this happens a lot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) I am a guitar/amp enthusiast...and I know right now many tube amp (valve amp for you Brits) owners are desperately buying up any available stock of Tungsol tubes (Russian company) (valves) which are a high quality aftermarket upgrde for many amp owners. My guess is the supply will dry up pretty quickly. Edited March 3, 2022 by tonray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the valves are only manufactured in Russia..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this happens a lot. All of the time in the software industry. That is the main reason I do not use Apps on my phone. And that is not taking into account how badly written most software is these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
