Locking the barn before not after the horse has left, Ford says it’s adding more data security to its Sync platform that brings Bluetooth and music connections to Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Ford said security hasn’t been a problem but with 2011 vehicles able to browse the Web – via a cellphone or smartphone, while the car is parked – Ford’s Sync guru declared it would be “just prudent” to add more security. Even if hacks haven’t happened yet, people freak out at the idea that somehow a hacker could mess with the car’s security or safety systems and next thing you know, there’d be Fords crashing left and right like they were Toyotas.
