Cybersecurity explained: Why do hackers target the auto industry?

“Shift” podcast host Molly Boigon gets help from Vanessa Lyon, global lead for cyber and digital risk at Boston Consulting Group, to explain how hackers access information from auto industry companies. Jake Neher, the executive producer of audio at Automotive News, also joins Boigon to discuss attackers who target vehicles themselves and why it may be easier for them to take control of braking than steering. And Boigon speaks with Doug Bolduc, managing editor of Automotive News Europe, about why Europe’s recycling capacity is outpacing its supply of electric vehicle batteries.
