The new scourge is wiping out Britain's cars in a flash!
So technology in the service of evil, and how could it be otherwise?
As automakers make their models increasingly technologically advanced, they are leaving them more vulnerable to cyber attacks.
And this is where this 15-euro device comes in, which was designed to help professional locksmiths gain access to locked cars that implement new security methods in their locks.
And while no one is falling from the clouds, as locksmith tools are widely used for malicious purposes, the event undoubtedly represents a shift in crime. A technological shift!
So instead of targeting cheaper cars with fewer security features on their locks, thieves are now targeting luxury models with unparalleled locking systems, as their technological superiority seems like a godsend for these gadgets, which can be easily obtained from suspicious websites in Bulgaria.
So without any intrusive questions about your profession, the sites sell the $20 (15 euros) devices to everyone, making picking locks a breeze. Want it even worse? It's possible!
The innovative diagnostic systems of luxury cars are often controlled wirelessly, making them even more vulnerable to the malicious purposes of hackers, who no longer even need the "good thief's gadget.".
The statistics here are jaw-dropping: almost half of the 89,000 cars broken into last year in London were broken into with electronic gadgets, according to official figures from the London Metropolitan Police!
And of course we are talking about lightning-fast operations, as the entire process of accessing the car's electronic systems takes no more than 10 seconds.
The devices are so easy to make that security experts in Spain have built their own to demonstrate how easy it is. The inexpensive CAN Hacking Tool (CHT) can instantly bypass any security code on a car before running malicious code on the car's electronic control center, allowing the hacker to gain access to the lights, locks, steering wheel and brakes. Wirelessly, of course!
At the same time, Russian criminals can now hack a car's security systems via iPad! That is, they completely control a car without even touching it!
Watch the video and try to envision the bleak future..
