Reviver's digital license plates were hacked, enabling unauthorized alteration of plate numbers. This cyberattack potentially allows individuals to evade tolls, traffic tickets, or engage in impersonation. The hack, though illegal and against terms of service, poses a threat to road safety, law enforcement, and revenue systems. Meanwhile, concerns arise about the future of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with the potential return of the Trump administration, as employees fear dismantling of crucial cybersecurity programs protecting against threats.
