[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably a stupid question, but presumably these cars have the push-button ignitions. How exactly do the cars get stolen so quickly?[/quote]

Relay Attacks: This attack amplifies the fob signal by "relayed" to the car, tricking it into thinking the key is right next to the door.

OBD Port Hacking: Thieves break into the car and plug a specialized device into the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port.

Signal Jamming: A thief uses a jamming device to block the signal when the owner tries to lock the car with their fob.

Key Cloning/Emulators: Using "emulator" devices (sometimes disguised as handheld consoles or phones) thieves can intercept and copy the radio frequency code emitted by a key fob to create a digital clone.

Headlight Hacking (CAN Bus Injection): Specialized tools can be wired into a car's external components, such as headlights, to inject malicious code directly into the car's internal computer network (CAN bus) this will unlock and start the engine[/quote]
