Thieves becoming experts at car hacking

CBS News correspondent Ash-har Quraishi reports on how the computerized systems designed to make you car more convenient, also make it an easy target for thieves.

Maybe just buy a car that has an old fashion anti theft device. A stick shift car. 😂😂😂

I don’t think the car manufacturers have the incentive to improve their security systems as they are indirectly benefiting from it by increasing their sales numbers.

Imagine a key fob when hacked like this notifies the police lol. “Hot key”

[bkkillafromda]

Air tags are a good investment as a backup just in case one a the Kia Boys come threw

[MrSupernova]

What a disgrace!! But why not get an old fashion metal steering wheel lock to hooks to the pedal like in the old days?

I use a kill switch and the club - still can’t stop them but they move on to your car

I’m glad I have a 20 year old Honda that has a regular key.

GM old school, need 30mins to program a key or a copy of a programmed key.

Tesla, especially with account MFA and PIN to drive enabled (factory free options), can't be stolen. I believe a report recently came out saying their the least stolen due to that plus Sentry Mode - the built in 360° camera/alarm system.

Every stolen car needs to be replaced or repaired so the manufacturers have no good reason to turn down more profit.

[boppernostopper]

rather than use a hacksaw? they aint afraid to bring one

[SwftClud]

A lot of cars are stolen and sent to the ME or Africa.

[catistrolling]

People are lazy like my kids who won’t put the club on

[danasmith]

So who would buy a keyless car anymore? Not me !

[givenlife]

That's what happens when you buy a car that has German technology in it. But you didn't put all the German technology in it. So the car wouldn't get stolen. But then if you look at the Mercedes, you can't steal them. Go try and steal a fiat and you can't steal them either. But with any Dodge product, you could go still anytime, any place, anywhere.
I hate dodging anyway. Go get a Dodge from the late 90s you won't have problem

[MileyonDisney]

Leave it to the news to teach us all how to steal cars - and just how easy it is.

[catistrolling]

Key fob people need to buy the lead pouch to stop it and let’s start a class action lawsuit like they did w Kia and Hyundai

[Keepskatin]

Haha welcome to the digital world, if it doesnt require a physical key, it can be hacked easier than smeone making a duplicate.
