    Good. There is legitimately zero reason for a gas pump to use Bluetooth. Whatever companies decide to install pumps that don’t use a wired connection for their control deserve all the consequences that come with that. The only way to ensure security is a wired internal connection with no external access. You know, the way these pumps were all originally controlled centrally before “modern” technology. There is no reason a pump should have Bluetooth anywhere near anything that can control them.

    Article says it’s not just one guy, and it’s an old exploit. It’s bound to be talked about somewhere online.
