Google waze - Hacked, reroutes drivers due to a fake traffic jam.


Thankfully, this was a POC developed by two Israeli students

Few decades back, food shortage, wars and natural events would cause Chaos. In Today's world , we may be able to achieve that just by breaking/hacking technologies.


According to the article:- 

The system automatically creates multiple new fictitious users on Waze that report fake GPS locations to “trick” the navigation system into believing there is a traffic jam.

The students were able to simulate a traffic jam that lasted for hours on end causing motorists on Waze to deviate from their planned routes.
