Revealed: car industry was warned keyless vehicles vulnerable to theft a decade ago - literature.cafe

Experts alerted motor trade to security risks of ‘smart key’ systems which have now fuelled highest level of car thefts for a decade.

No shit.

I mean not to side with the car industry, and not to dog on non-tech folks, but if you bought a push to start engine that doesn’t require a key…

Like how do you think it works?! You couldn’t have thought it was very different from your TV remote, and everyone knows universal remotes exist. In glad there’s so much talk about moving away from passwords and over to physical security keys for computers.

Show me a car today without keyless.

They’ve all been going that way for years. Last car I bought (two years ago, and it was a 2016), I couldn’t find any equivalent vehicle using a key.

And no, I’m not buying some junk just because it uses a key. I buy cars that I know I can keep running forever, and in that category they’re all keyless today.
