- kayodelycaon 3y agoThey don’t need to. Banning the easy method will stop the majority of cases. Most people won’t bother with a slightly less easy method requiring the most basic of technical skills or more research than the first Google result. Similar to how moving ssh to a non-standard port stops most attacks.
- andy99 3y agoCanadian car theft is organized criminals with connections across the supply chain shipping vehicles to Africa and the middle east. It's not kids joyriding. They will have no issue sourcing other methods of theft.
- farhanhubble 3y agoNext the govt. might ban shipping to these regions.
- 542458 3y agoYeah, that’s the thing that seems really silly about this to me - if your organization is competent enough to smuggle literally hundreds of cars out of the country, I’m sure you can smuggle a handful of small electronic devices in.
- pquki4 3y agoNot even smuggling -- I assume they can easily build a specialized car stealing device using standard components? None of this is difficult.
- laserbeam 3y agoFTA: "ISED will pursue all avenues to ban devices used to steal vehicles by copying the wireless signals for remote keyless entry, such as the Flipper Zero" Text uses the flipper zero as an example, not as the specific target of the ban.
