Keyless entry systems, designed for convenience, have become a focal point for modern car thieves. Utilizing techniques like relay theft, attackers boost the signal of a key fob with a wireless transmitter to unlock and start a car, even when the actual key is nowhere near the vehicle.

Telematics systems, which monitor and transmit data on vehicle use and maintenance, are not immune to these threats. One notable example is the exploitation of Spireon's telematics solution, which could have allowed hackers to gain full administrative access to about 15.5 million vehicles, enabling them to issue arbitrary commands and even update device firmware.
