When you "total" a car, and its not actually completely fucked up, but just damaged enough for US insurance not to fix it. 90% of the time it gets sold on action, fixed or not, and man do they buy up that shit in Eastern Europe for like 40% cheaper than market price. Very Common. https://t.co/84VsIMwIR9— Linas (@Linassp3) August 10, 2023

According to CNBC, CTO of automotive security firm Canis Labs, Ken Tindell, claims that there can indeed be a security risk with totaled cars that are restored. “The credentials to internet services are clearly left in the vehicle electronics and then can be used by whoever gets hold of the electronics.” He further mentioned that it is possible to get data out of working electronics.
