        Oct. 2, 2008 -- Computers have been hacked for decades. But now,
scientists at Cornell University and Virginia Tech are now warning about the
dangers of "spoofing," or hacking into the Global Positioning System (GPS)
that controls everything from car navigation to national power grids.
        "The average person doesn't realize how much infrastructure is based
on GPS and how vulnerable it is," said Brent Ledvina of Virginia Tech, who
helped build a spoofer to show weaknesses in the system. "But the truth is
that a lot can be done about these vulnerabilities."
