Security Experts Warn of Satellite Navigation Hacks

"Two security experts have discovered a way to inject false messages-- some amusing and others potentially frightening-- into car satellite navigation systems."

Is Your GPS Naive?
"Many GPS devices today will try to scan the FM bands for traffic advisories in the area to display on their screens. The signals, however, are neither authenticated nor encrypted, and one can — with commonly available electronics — construct a device to broadcast bogus advisories. Possible codes range from "bullfight ahead" to "terrorist attack"..."

I thought it was kinda funny that "bullfight" was a legitimate traffic code.
