by Anthony FalcoHow would one go about hacking a Segway?Apparently, it’s not very hard at all.Cybersecurity firm IOActive was able to hack a Segway Minipro through the device’s phone app.The app connects to the high-end hoverboard via bluetooth, which leaves its firmware vulnerable to overrides.This allows hackers to take control and remotely drive it away. Or even stop a rider mid-motion.IOActive says Segway needs to improve its security and encrypt the firmware.Oh, for the simple days of riding a bike…
