Even skateboards can be hacked

It seems even the humble skateboard isn’t immune to hacking, as The Register reports that the ‘Boosted’ brand of electric skateboards has been compromised by a pair of hackers.
Boosted boards contain a small motor to speed them up while going down hills, and to assist with climbs, with an app controlling the motor over Bluetooth. But Richo Healey and Mike Ryan discovered a method of blocking the Bluetooth signal between the board and the controller, which could then force it to be paired with a laptop.
