"Just got back from a road trip in my new VW ID.4 and I'm freaked out. Started noticing that my infotainment screen was running super slow, even when I wasn't using GPS or streaming music. Has anyone else noticed any weird activity on their ID.4's system?"

"Yea I've had the ID.4 for a year now, but I'm still relatively new to crypto mining malware, so I've been keeping an eye on my system. Haven't seen anything suspicious on my unit. Anyone else check for suspicious updates or background processes?"

"Lol, no I haven't noticed anything on my VW ID.4's infotainment system. But that does bring up a good point, with all these connected cars, we're basically walking around with mini computers on wheels. Anyone know if they have any basic anti-virus protection built in?"
