Supposedly, SRAM employed a group of hackers and put them in the neutral service cars during the last few editions of the Tour of California trying to hack the system, unsuccessfully.
Again, not sure what can be gained by hacking some shifters as they shouldn’t contain any sensible information as a GPS device does.
Or do they?

This!
But I suppose as said earlier loaded folk who can throw 3k at a groupset are unlikely to go out of their way to avoid paying more to get the PM activated.
I've also maybe misunderstood the way in which it would be activated. Was thinking more along the lines of plugging a cable into it! I now realise thats probably unlikely and communicating with it would be done wirelessly.
So maybe couldn't happen as easily as I'd thought.
Theres a child genius with mad hacking skillz and a keen interest in cycling out there somewhere!
