How did they get the IP address? Sure, they hacked in after they got the IP...which is a major flaw. They did hint that there was a back door Chrysler likely left open by accident. Not good.
Legitimate concern? Yes. High risk? Don't think so.

I'd suggest not calling BS. I do understand that this does likely wrack your thinking and make you question everything you ever thought was safe.
IP Addresses don't matter, these guys are Black Hat masters and you can guarantee there are other people as good or better than they with less humble motives...
The risk is getting higher and higher as consecutive model lines emerge. New, higher technologically capable devices, being built on the same basic security (or lack of) platform. Parallel it to someone building a top of the line home with every amazing feature you can think, but the front door is locked by a wood board nailed across the door....
These guys proved, if you have a late model car and a hacker wants to control your car and kill you and your family, it can be done.
Now it's a race to figure out how politicians can work
in conjunction withthe car companies to fill their pockets
