A study conducted jointly by German and British researchers found a security flaw in the system of opening and closing distance of millions of vehicles worldwide. The Volkswagen Group is most concerned.
You thought you were reassured by locking your car doors “key”? Well it could be that the key to your vehicle is easily falsifiable, especially if it’s a Volkswagen.
This is indeed what reveals a study by German and British researchers. A security flaw in the open and many models remote closure system could hack many cars.
The study led by Flavio Garcia, David Oswald and Peter Pavlides, University researchers Birmingham, in collaboration with Timo Kasper, Kasper of the company & amp; Oswald GmbH specializes in computer security issues, indeed demonstrates the vulnerability of boxes that control the opening and closing of the vehicle, based on a rolling code system. According to researchers, “for most door closures, there are tools to decode the lock to create a corresponding key.” Much of the automakers indeed offers a small number of combinations.
Hackers may easily bypass the system keys from old keys, the number of different passwords being very low.
the Volkswagen group in sight
About 100 million cars worldwide are affected. Among them, those manufactured by the Volkswagen Group since 1995, including the Golf 4 to 6, but also its brands Audi, Seat and Skoda.
Other manufacturers are also concerned that the French Citroen (Nemo, Jumper), Peugeot (207 in particular) and Renault (Clio, Twingo, etc.), the Italian Fiat (Punto, Panda …), the German Opel (Astra, Corsa, etc.), the Japanese Nissan (including Qashqai) or the American Ford (Ka).
According to the researchers, these flaws explain the business multiplication without breaking flight that insurers refuse to support.
flights efferaction without increasing
in 2015, 110,000 cars have been a theft or attempted theft in France. Three out of four times, there is no break. Thieves are hackers who take the electronic control of the vehicle
The only solution to fight against these flights without break. Return to the mechanical or, even simpler, do not leave anything lying around in his car.
