Volkswagen sues UK university after it hacked sports cars

In a statement, the university said it will "defer publication" of an academic paper, which explains how researchers were able to hack the sophisticated systems.

The academics had hoped to publish the paper at the USENIX Security Conference in Washington next month but German car maker Volkswagen sued to prevent them from disclosing key details of their work, arguing that publicising the flaw would put the security of some of its most expensive vehicles at risk.

The University of Birmingham declined further comment.

Volkswagen also declined comment, citing the ongoing legal proceedings.
