That catastrophic security flaw? That the US Gov't didn't require immobilizers on cars until way too late.
Funnily enough, Canada DID require immobilizers, so I think they're not subject to the same BS my car is subject to.

It’s a wireless attack that affects late model cars with proximity-based keyfobs (ie: ones that do not require a button to be pressed on the fob for the car to detect it), including 2022 and 2023 models such as the Ioniq 5 EV: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5/comments/17lksic/increase_in_ioniq_5_thefts_uk/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5/comments/17lksic/increase_in... All countries seem to be affected, not just US models.
