Hackers Now Carjack Your Car With Just One Click
Security researcher Eaton Zveare revealed a glitch in a carmaker's centralized dealer portal so gaping it allowed "vast access to customer and vehicle data." Apparently, he could "remotely take over a customerâs account and unlock their cars," proving once again, the only lock that works is the one you imagine. The dealershipâs digital front door was left so wide open, it's a wonder the cars werenât driving themselves off the lot.

Congrats, modern cars! Now youâre less like a chauffeur and more like an open house partyâinviting hackers to unlock, ride, and maybe steal your Spotify playlist too.
If your carâs security is a portal wide open to strangers, does it still count as a 'drive' or just a hitchhiking simulator?
I guess the dealershipâs motto is: Why lock cars when hackers love playing with new toys? Remote carjacking, corporate edition.
