    Here is more about the vulnerability from the people who found it. I looked up these wrenches and they cost roughly $9,000. Imagine your factory uses 100 of them to certify torque specs on X number of cars per day. Now imagine finding out they’ve been compsomised. What do you even do? I’m glad I don’t work in that field.

      I would guess something along the lines of hire a security firm to try to find when /where /to what it happened on. Recall all of those products. Then sue Bosch for the cost.
