Telsa hasn't been, but several other car manufacturers already have been - and been shown to be able to take over gas and break pedals.
I really wonder if Telsa is acting more like a tech company, and less like an auto maker, and paying more attention to security, etc?

I would sure hope so. Such a huge amount of risk/liability to take on as a company once you get into something like this.

Hard to feel bad for them. Try to pirate software, get pwned

What's scarier to me is, who trusts these systems after something like this? Sure, you got your data back, but who knows what else is now on the network that you won't find.

Who trusted it before? Obviously a pirate with admin privs was already on their network and without basic security knowledge. So this is really not that big of a deal after than before.
