Omar Ramos-Lopez, Laid Off Employee, Remotely Disables 100 Cars

The radio news down here in Austin is saying the so-called "hacker" is a car salesman that was fired from one of the many used car dealerships down here.

They are also saying he took home (stole) a peice of special hardware used to call over the phone lines and disable cars for people who fail to make their payments. Something the finance manager would use from time to time.

No much hacking, just a theft and several phone calls over his home phone land line.
