We’ll forgive internet security firm F-Secure for their perhaps overly dramatic virus testing protocol—you can bury a Prius 42 meters underground, but the smell of hippie will still waft to the surface—since their levelheadedness over the dangers of a Bluetooth virus infecting cars should be applauded. The short answer? The infection of two Cabir variants was completely unsuccessful in the loaned Prius, which uses the same Bluetooth system as the one in the Lexus that had been rumored to be infected.

Seriously, though, if they can have an underground lair, why can’t we?
