It is the land of fire and ice. Where the earth is literally splitting apart. This is iceland, home to so much amazing scenery, created by The Superheated Rock that lurks just below the surface. As recently as march this year, a new volcano� s been erupting and attracting tourists and scientists alike to watch and learn as it rewrites the geography once again. And, later in the programme, we will be there to see how as long as youre careful volcanoes and drones can mix. Now, iceland is putting all of this heat to good use. It drives the geothermal Power Stations which provide clean, cheap electricity, and that means that now, nearly half of all of the cars here are electric. The country is second only to norway in its adoption. But while things are moving at a pretty fast pace here in iceland, the uk is still trying to increase the number of publicly available Charging Points to help with the switch to electric there, and that means that home Charging Points are a must have for early adopters. But heres a question i bet youve never asked yourself how secure is your charger . Weird question, i know, but Dan Simmons has been investigating how your Charging Point could be turned against you. Ready to plug in. Well, the porsche does get thirsty and as many Electric Car owners will testify, having a charger at home is almost a necessity to make sure you can go places tomorrow. Beep. But all is not as it seems. Because this Smart Charger has mysteriously switched off. Beep. Next day, our man is often an important meeting, no doubt, and to show off his flashy new motor. But hes going nowhere because his tican cant its battery is still flat. His cars 0k its the Wallbox Charger thats been hacked and turned off. And it gets worse. Because hackers can access the firmware of this second charger, the Project Ev, they can disable this permanently. Both chargers have been approved for sale in the uk by the Governments Department of transport. So how can this happen . Well, thankfully, The Good Guys have found the problems first. The number of so called � white hat� hackers is growing fast these are the people who Test Systems and products to find flaws before anyone else does. Vangelis is the hacker who found the security failures. So on wallbox, you could take full control of the charger. It could gain full access and remove the usual Owners Access on the charger. It could stop them from charging their own vehicles and provide free charging to an attacker vehicle. For the Project Ev, its way worse because you can sideload finware, you can make it you can brick it, you can make it to be part a modnet and you could also make attack other servers. It to be part a botnet and you could also make attack other servers. The problem in both cases is the lack of proper authentication between the mobile app on our smartphones often used to control these chargers and the Computer Servers that Relay Instructions to the boxes�. Known as apis. Do you think its an easy hike to do . Could anyone do it . Yes. Well, the Word Anyone is quite broad, but anyone who understood apis could easily do it, yes. Ken munro heads up Pen Test partners. After a quick charge up, we went back to his place where he showed me something else particularly worrying. If youve got one of these chargers at home, then you might be surprised to find this inside. Ken and his team found a 2015 raspberry pi, more of an educational piece of hardware rather than something that you might want to rely on to store your details securely. Get hold of one of these and because this is connected to your home by wi fi, well then, you can get straight onto the home network. Could let you do all sorts of things. Shall we change the channel . Click theme plays. Mum . Spencer hey, welcome to click. Its more educational if youve got the Project Ev charger, you can do it without even having access to the box. You can do it remotely. So once youre onto someones home network, if you havent changed that Router Admin password, you can send all the traffic to the hacker. That means they can do things like set up sites that look like the real deal but steal your passwords and then your real bank account, for example, has been compromised. So theres all sorts of things you can do. Anything you log into, you can potentially intercept that traffic or grab it and then reuse it, so everything you do online is potentially exposed. And with many of us now working from home, confidential commercial information might also incentivise an attacker. If youre a small Business And Youve got one of these charges and its connected to your business network, youve potentially created a backdoor onto your network, access to potentially all of your data, and thats going to put you in a whole lot of pain. And new Sharing Schemes promise to make security even more important as owners of charges are encouraged to let other Ev Users pull onto their driveways and charge up. Thousands of these two chargers have been sold in the uk, so both Pen Test partners and click contacted the firms to first give them the chance to fix the problems. And we got two different responses. Project ev imports chargers from a company based in china called atess. It told us. Wallbox, based in spain, didnt reply to us, but they did tell Kens Team that they had fixed the online problems. Time to see if the units are safe. Retesting took place this week and suggests most of the problems in both chargers have been fixed, but ken says owners still need to take action. Check for updates, solve the problem. The Wallbox Charger uses hardware that isnt secure enough. Theres really nothing you can do to make it completely secure. So unless Wallbox Have found a way of fixing that, which would be beyond me, id suggest perhaps supergluing the Box Cover in so Hackers Cant take the top off. And what of the approval they had to be sold in the uk by the Department Of Transport and The Government grants handed out to help sell them . The department did not comment on the security issues we raised, but said. Its worth noting that all Smart Home chargers will still be usable if you just want to plug your car in. But when it comes to security when using them with a Phone App or home wi fi, it seems some are smarter than others. My name is christopher hamilton, i am an Associate Professor at the University Of Arizona and a planetary volcanologist. Were here in geldingadalir, which is a new volcanic eruption that has occurred in Southern Iceland in reykjanes. Iceland provides an ideal testbed for being able to test different kinds of drones for mars because the wonderful characteristics of the environment are actually very similar to what we would expect on mars. So this has been a really exciting year for mars exploration. The Drone Ingenuity has demonstrated flight on mars for the very first time, being able to operate in a very thin atmosphere, about i of what the earths atmosphere is. Is it still giving you that warning . No. The other drone we are using has a larger payload, has a number of different cameras and zoom functions, really beautiful, but also a lidar instrument. So lidar uses light to be able to range the distance between the sensor that is emitting a set of photons and a surface. Its a world first to be able to use a drone based lidar to image the Lava Flow and develop a time Series Topography which we can use to inform the thickness of lava, the volume, and ultimately, the amount of lava thats coming out of a volcano at a particular time. Today were mainly trying a thermal infrared camera which measures the temperature of the lava, which is a first for us to be able to do from the air with this system. Even though we dont see it with our eyes we can actually map out regions that are hot and potentially having Lava Flowing underneath the crust. We are also testing a series of things like grippers, basically a claw that can be used to pick up loose examples, but also drills that can actually core a sample using the drill and bring it back to a lander or even a rover forfurther analysis. The different drones, the different instruments, the different Mission Concepts were putting together will enable new exploration of the red planet and to see parts of the planet we have never seen before, and i hope well have an opportunity, perhaps in the coming decade, to send a drone dedicated to exploring mars� volcanoes and for the first time see if potentially theyre Harbouring Evidence of life. Past or present. Are we alone in the universe, but also where did we begin, and potentially, what is the world like in the future that we will come to inhabit as well . That was christopher hamilton. How spectacular was that . And thats it for the shortcut of this weeks click.

Thanks for watching and well see you soon. Hello, welcome to sportsday. After another special saturday for Team Gb at the olympics. Im austin halewood, heres whats coming up in the programme. The fastest woman in the world. Elaine Thompson Herah succesfully defends her olympic title with one of the quickest times in history. But its heartbreak for dina Asher Smith, who failed to make the final and then pulled out of the 200 meters. This is for the start, well let it go. Well let the start go and let me cry but it was still a golden saturday, with Team Gb winning the first triathlon mixed relay. And even more swimming success, as the brits enjoy their best performance in the pool for over a century. Also coming up in the programme, away from the olympics. And its all square. South africa beat the lions in Cape Town to level the series at 1 1. Good evening, welcome to sportsday. Were a week into the Tokyo Olympics and the action keeps coming thick and fast from japan. 21 gold medals were up for grabs today, but most eyes were firmly locked on tokyos olympic stadium, and the final of the womens 100 meters. Defending champion Elaine Thompson Herah ran the second fastest time in history, to succesfully defend her title. But it was disappointment for britains dina Asher Smith, as injury brought an end to her bid, as natalie pirks reports. She sniffles. Obviously, the competitor in me. This is for the start, well let it go. Well let the start go and let me cry the customary smile replaced with tears. The fastest woman in british history had been hiding a secret. Dina Asher Smith just five weeks ago, shed been told there was only a 2 chance she would make it to the start line, after a torn hamstring. Elaine Thompson Herah is going to win it. Its going to be Del Ponte take second place and dina, shesjust not finishing. She gets out well and couldnt hang on. Out the final and minutes later, the reigning world 200 Metres Champion confirmed she was out of that too, but would still run the relay. My idea for this Olympic Cycle was complete dominance and obviously, ha didnt manage it this time but obviously, we have three more years till the next olympics and i know the kind of shape im in, i know the calibre of athlete i am and i know how talented i am, so its frustrating to not be able to put it out when it matters, but, at the end of the day, with the cards that ive been given, i did very, very well and in no way does this change anything thats going to happen in the future. Well, Daryll Neita might not have been the name everyones lips but making the 100 metre final is a huge achievement. Shes the first british woman to do so since 2008. But this would be a tough ask from a field stacked with talent and speed. And it is going to be the defending champion makes it two in a row . 10. 60, it is an olympic record
