A Device Hidden in Cars Across the US Leaves Them Vulnerable to Hacking and Paralysis. Patch It Now
Researchers identified a vulnerability in aftermarket alarm systems installed by dealerships in millions of US vehicles that allows attackers to unlock doors, track location, and disable vehicles remotely. The systems are often left active even when buyers did not request them. Vendors have released patches to address the security flaws.
Why it matters: Vehicle owners and fleet operators need to verify whether their cars have these alarm systems and apply patches immediately, as exploitation could result in theft or loss of vehicle control.
