Cyber security researchers from Singapore showed at BlackHat USA 2022 that they can unlock your new car with the simplest key fob signal replay attack you might have ever imagined.

Car thefts are still (and probably will always be) on the rise, just as malicious actors being steps ahead of the manufacturers. Last year, there was a considerable spike in auto thefts in Oakville, where 42 luxury cars were stolen within four weeks.

In March, security researchers found a bug in Honda vehicles that allow an attacker to unlock and start your car.

Earlier this year (in April 2022), police became on high alert in the city of Mid Ulster (the UK), where the sixth car theft happened of the year — and it was only April.

A month ago (in July), another new bug targeting Honda vehicles was revealed, called Rolling-PWN attack. Researchers claim that while they tested only on the ten most popular Honda models of the last decade, all Honda vehicles are believed to be affected.
