could potentially make them more vulnerable to hacking.
This is Andy Greenberg, Wired senior correspondent.
Really the-
the best car hacking reporter you're going to find anywhere out there, reported that this device is part of something called the CAR, and we love spellings on this show.
It's K-A-R-R, the car security system that has a Bluetooth vulnerability that lets anyone nearby unlock your car, kill the alarm, disable the ignition.
Oh, no.
The worst part about this, or at least a very bad part about this, is that a lot of owners...
have no idea it's in their car.
There's no reason you would know.
And that's because it's something that dealers install.
Dealers put cars, the car security system in to protect cars on the lot.
And they don't bother to remove it or disable it after the sale.
So you, yes, you could have this system in your car.
Here's how it works.
Researchers found that all of these car devices share a single authentication key, which I don't know how familiar people are with cybersecurity.
That's bad.
It's like sharing a password to your Netflix account, but with every single person who has this system involved.
So once you have that,
You can get in.
They figured out how to reverse engineer that key.
