KIA cars were built with a back door so that the company's servercan locate them and take control of them.

The car's owner had access to these controls through the KIA server.That in itself is not objectionable. However, that KIA itselfhas such control is Orwellian, and ought to be illegal.

The icing on the Orwellian cake is that the server had a securityfault which allowed absolutely anyone to activate those controlsfor any KIA car.

Many people will be outraged at that security bug, but that waspresumably an accident. The fact that KIA had such control overcars after selling them to customers is what outrages me, and thatmust have been intentional on KIA's part.
