摘要：	Now even tank trailers are susceptible to cyberattacks. Ben Gardiner, a senior cybersecurity research engineer with the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA), recently showed how a criminal with $300 can use radio frequency-induced signals to hack into a tanker's anti-lock braking system and repeatedly reset the control module in an effort to disable the vehicle in a disquieting demonstration conducted during NMFTA's Digital Solutions Conference on Cybersecurity. "The attack we're demonstrating is really an abuse case," Gardiner explained. "We're sending reset commands, and the resets have audible feedback. You're listening to the ECU doing its reset thing, so it's hearing the commands and reacting." Air is released each time the electronic control unit (ECU) resets, potentially rendering the brakes inoperable if enough escapes. Hackers also could exploit the vulnerability to apply brake pressure in a traffic choke point or signal an ABS fault, causing a driver to pull over. "Certainly, disabling entire fleets of trucks could have large impacts on cities, critical infrastructure, and the safety of the nation," Gardiner asserted.
