Millions of California-bought cars can be hijacked via Bluetooth
Researchers at UC San Diego identified Bluetooth vulnerabilities affecting at least 2.2 million vehicles equipped with dealer-installed KARR and SWDS security systems. The flaws allow nearby attackers to unlock doors or disable vehicle ignition through wireless attacks. The full research details are forthcoming.
Why it matters: Vehicle owners and insurers in California should assess whether their cars use these security systems, as attackers within Bluetooth range can compromise physical security and engine start functionality without authentication.
