AutoGhost AI
The First-Ever Automotive Endpoint Security Solution
Your vehicle’s systems may be putting your personal information at risk. Modern cars and IoT devices rely on dozens—sometimes over a hundred—interconnected sensors and modules. These systems routinely store, process, and share sensitive data, yet many lack proper security measures. This leaves critical information—like names, addresses, credit card numbers (including CCV), text messages, email and attachments, location histories, garage door codes, and personal financial information —exposed to potential cybercriminals.
Why AutoGhost AI Is Different
When it comes to removing personal data from vehicles, other solutions fall short by relying on manufacturer processes that merely erase the visible data from the infotainment screen. While this may give the appearance of deletion, the truth is that the data often remains stored in the vehicle's systems, leaving it vulnerable to cybercriminals and unauthorized access.
AutoGhost AI takes a completely different approach.
Our proprietary technology ensures that personal data is not just hidden but permanently deleted from the vehicle's systems. AutoGhost AI goes beyond surface-level "deletion" to directly target the source, ensuring:
Comprehensive Data Erasure: We deletion of the data from all relevant systems, not just the visible interface.
Enhanced Security: Cybercriminals can't access what no longer exists. Our method eliminates the risk of sensitive data being retrieved later.
Peace of Mind: Whether you're selling or returning a vehicle, AutoGhost AI guarantees that your personal information is truly gone.
AutoGhost AI is the only trustworthy solution designed to protect your privacy by thoroughly eliminating data at its core, leaving no traces behind.
The Hidden Danger Inside Your Vehicle
While car manufacturers offer basic “delete” functions, the truth is these tools rarely eliminate data. Instead, personal information lingers within the vehicle’s memory, waiting to be exploited by malicious actors for tracking, identity theft, or other types of cybercrime.
Criminals who gain access to personal data can impersonate individuals, open fraudulent accounts, or take out loans in their names. Here are a few examples of frequent, rapidly growing attacks:
Vehicle-Enabled Stalking:
By tracking a car’s GPS history or current location, malicious actors could follow a victim’s daily routines, knowing exactly where they live, work, and shop. This can facilitate physical stalking, burglary, or harassment. There are more than 3.5 million stalking victims in the US annually. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experience stalking at some point in their lives.Unauthorized Purchases and Fraud:
Stored credit card details could be used to make fraudulent online purchases, causing financial loss and damage to the victim’s credit standing. Americans lost $10 billion to fraudsters in 2023. More than 52 million Americans experienced fraudulent charges on their credit or debit cards in 2023, with unauthorized purchases exceeding $5 billion.Remote Vehicle Control Attacks:
In extreme cases, hackers may exploit vulnerabilities in a vehicle’s onboard systems to manipulate car functions—from unlocking doors and starting the engine to tampering with brakes or steering—threatening both the driver’s safety and property.Blackmail and Extortion:
Personal data found in a car’s systems might include private messages, calendar events, or personal notes. Criminals could use this information to blackmail victims or extort money by threatening to reveal sensitive details publicly. In 2023, the Internet Crime Complaint Center received nearly one million complaints from the American public, with potential losses exceeding twelve billion dollars. This represents a nearly 10% increase in complaints received and a 22% increase in losses suffered compared to 2022.Home Invasion or Burglary:
Data collected by vehicles includes home address details, travel patterns, garage door codes and many other pattern of life details. Attackers can plan break-ins when they know the owner is away, leveraging both timing and access information. A home burglary occurs once every 25 seconds in the United States. Approximately 2.5 million burglaries occur annually in the US, with 66% considered home invasions.
Legislative Insights: Addressing Cyber Threats in Transportation
As emerging technologies continue to shape the transportation sector, the risks associated with cybersecurity and data privacy grow more complex. In recent discussions with the Texas Legislature's House Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies, experts presented key insights on these issues.
The following video shorts, and the longer footage found on our INSIGHTS page, feature highlights from the legislative testimony that address the pressing need for advanced cyber defense mechanisms in modern vehicles. These discussions underscore the role of AutoGhost AI in mitigating vulnerabilities in automotive data storage, offering a robust solution that forensically wipes sensitive data to safeguard user privacy and combat evolving cyber threats.
