How would the victims quoted here have any idea if their cars were opened with a relay attack? Someone grabbed your bag? It’s more likely that you forgot to lock your car than that you were a relay attack victim. Especially if you were in such a bad state that one of you literally passed out at the airport.
But also how are manufacturers still selling vulnerable cars? This seems like a class-action lawsuit waiting to happen. Relay attacks have been a known vulnerability with known solutions for years.
- cjrp 7y agoLeaving the car unlocked wouldn't explain how they were able to start the car and drive off with it. Car missing + all keys accounted for in your house + no smashed glass = relay attack.
- dpark 7y agoThe people who have their bag stolen, did not have their car driven away. That’s a valid question for the other victim, but I’m pretty sure cars are still occasionally stolen without the keys nearby by defeating the immobilizer.
