Keyless car theft now possible in under 2 minutes.

A new form of keyless car theft called CAN injection attacks has been discovered by a cybersecurity researcher who was a victim of the crime. The attack involves using an "emergency start" device to bypass the smart key system and inject malicious messages into the car's Controller Area Network (CAN), causing it to malfunction and allowing the thief to start the car. This technique is more sophisticated than the previously used relay attack and can be performed in under two minutes.

Protecting Your Car from High-Tech Thieves

Thieves have found a new way to bypass electronic security on modern cars by using a method called CAN injection, which relies on physical access to a car's CAN bus. By tapping into the data wires that run through a car, a thief can inject malicious commands into the network, allowing them to wake up the car's computer controllers, falsify the presence of the car key, and drive off. This attack requires a thief to partially disassemble the target car, but it entirely bypasses the car's key, unlike relay attacks that simply extend the key's radio range. Automakers can implement a "zero trust" approach to stop these kinds of attacks, but it would require a new commitment to security.

Protecting Your Car from Network Bus Thieves and Hackers

Thieves are using a method of car theft that involves direct access to the vehicle's system bus via a smart headlamp's wiring. By accessing the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, thieves can introduce bogus messages as if it were from the car's smart key receiver, causing the security system to unlock the vehicle and disable the engine immobilizer, allowing it to be stolen. The thieves can break open a headlamp and use its connection to the bus to send messages, and from that point, they can manipulate other devices to steal the vehicle. As the automotive industry develops ever more sophisticated tech systems for their vehicles, scumbags find more inventive ways to abuse these systems for their own ends.
