Detroit man steals 800 gallons using Bluetooth to hack gas pumps at station::undefined
The grammar in this article is horrendous. It’s almost as if Fox isn’t a reputable source for news!
So, how would this work exactly? For curiosity’s sake.
Off topic but the right crowd is here, would anyone be interested in starting a hardware security community? Edit: https://lemmy.world/c/hardwarehacking is live! It’s still a work in progress but all are welcome to join.
Was this article written by AI, because it’s disjointed as fuck.
Can’t have shit in Detroit… Not even coherent written articles.
Wait so they haven’t caught them yet? The article gave no names. And why do these pumps have Bluetooth? You might as well put in a USB service port.
Is it really theft? Considering how much of his tax dollars have gone to subsidize the oil and gas industry?
Yes, considering the oil company doesn’t own the gas station and still gets paid for the fuel. The person you’re stealing from is the owner of the gas station who purchases the fuel and then in many areas sells fuel with very low margin in hopes of you coming into the store for snacks and drinks to make money on higher margin products. So even if they are selling a large amount of fuel, they aren’t making a lot of profit to make up for the theft.
