Reuters reports that a new "2004 Security Threats and Attack Trends Report" from IBM warns that virus threats could spread to other electronic devices including cars. Stuart McIrvine, director of IBM's security strategy, told Reuters that, "cars were threatened by computer security threats, some malicious, others unintentional. As the average new car runs 20 computer processors and about 60 megabytes of software code, the opportunity for malfunctions, wireless attacks and other security threats was multiplying."
